Everything works now as expected. Sidenote: I first created an extra address with: ip addr add 192.168.19.124/24 dev eth2 And checked that is was there. THen I put everything in the post-up command including the one I already did. invoke-rc.d networking restart didn't activate the other addressess. I remove the first one: ip addr del 192.168.19.124/24 dev eth2 then invoke-rc.d networking restart worked. Many thanks.
