Just out of curiousity, it configuring a virtual interface from the CLI similar to setting up a regular interface from the CLI? For instance I have 3 virtual interfaces (on a bonded interface if that makes any difference) I want to have setup on a reboot instead of setting them up by hand every time. Do I just create a ifcfg-bond1:0 in /etc/sysconfig/networking like the other interfaces are? -- Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem!
