You want to create a script called ifcfg-ethx:n where x is the NIC you wish to alias and :n is the iteration. Here is an example of my ifcfg-eth0:1 file. # Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt # for the documentation of these parameters. NETMASK='255.255.255.0' BOOTPROTO='none' DEVICE='eth0:1' IPADDR='10.0.13.1' TYPE='Ethernet' ONBOOT='yes' USERCTL='no' NETWORK='10.0.13.0' BROADCAST='10.0.13.255' PEERDNS='no' If you need a gateway, add the line GATEWAY=xx.xx.xx.xx Where xx.xx.xx.xx is the gateway you are using for the second address. Make sure the permissions are the same as ifcfg-eth0 et al. Then just ifup eth0:1.
