You have a couple of options. The easiest, actually, so that you don't have to set subinterfaces, is to use the ip addr command: ip addr add 172.53.0.1 dev eth0 Just put it into your /etc/rc.local file. The other option is to go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and create a file called ifcfg-lo:0, with the appropriate options. I'd go with the first option, myself. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org 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
