Eth0:1 not eth0:0:1 Regards Thing -----Original Message----- From: Jason Williard [mailto:jason@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, 15 February 2005 6:57 p.m. To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Multiple IPs on single interface Hello, I have a box with Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 installed on it. Today, I acquired 2 additional IP addresses for it. I can add the IP addresses using the following commands, but they are not permanent. # ifconfig eth0 add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.254.0 # ifconfig eth0:0 add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.254.0 As this was not making it permanent, I created 2 files (ifcfg-eth0:0 & ifcfg-eth0:0:1) inside the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory. The first file works and interface eth0:0 comes up at startup. However, the second interface stays down. Below is the content of the two files: ifcfg-eth0:0 --- DEVICE=eth0:0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx NETMASK=255.255.254.0 GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx HWADDR=00:00:00:00:00:00 --- ifcfg-eth0:0:1 --- DEVICE=eth0:0:1 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx NETMASK=255.255.254.0 GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx HWADDR=00:00:00:00:00:00 --- --- Thank You, Jason Williard PCSafe, Inc. -- 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
