Hello and thanks to both Mike and Chris, I've used both advices. I first copied ifcfg-eth0:0 to ifcfg-eth0:2 and then manually edited the file, once saved and following a reboot, the "new" eth0:2 would come up. Who'd think that certain things are administered more easily on Solaris (the plumb command).

My experience, though, is that iptables doesn't seem to work, well, with subinterfaces. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
