Michael -
the best way to do it is as follows
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
#change to the directory where the ifconfig scripts are held
cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:1
#copy ifcfg-eth0(configuration file for eth0) to ifcfg-eth0:1(first alias)
Hmm, I know on Solaris the first alias starts at :1 but I recall doing my first
alias for Linux on eth0:0, is that still the case currently?
AFAIK yes, you can use up to 256 aliases (or eth0:0 to eth0:255) on each
physical interface.
