Hi everybody, I am trying to apply alias IP to eth0 on my system having Red Hat 7.2 installed. But it does not accept that alias (eth0:0). Please note that eth0 is functioning in a proper way. Its IP is 192.168.168.12 I want to add an alias eth0:0 having IP address of 192.168.0.25 I do it in the following way ~# neat & A Network Configuration window opens Click on devices Tab Click on eth0 and click copy Another device having nick "eth0Copy0" was formed. Now I edit "eth0Copy0" Apply the IP aaddress 192.168.0.25 to it and in Hardward tab check "Enable Device Alias Support" I save all changes. When I quit and restart the network service no eth0:0 appaears on the out put of "ifconfig". Please help me. It was very simple to add an alias in Redhat 6.2. But I am unable to to add alias(eth0:0) to eth0 in Redhat 7.2. Many thanks in advance.
