Yes, you can do this by entering this command... ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 To make your changes survive a reboot, create the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 and just copy whatever is in the ifcfg-eth0 file (except for the changes of course). It will look something like this... DEVICE=eth0:0 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.255 IPADDR=192.168.1.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 ONBOOT=yes ChrisP, RHCE -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
