Hi list

Can someone tell me how to add a 2^nd IP adress to a nic and ensure that 2^nd IP is kept after a reboot

Tried ifconfig eth0 add aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, but the IP is dropped after reboot

Any idea ??

Thanks !

I am not sure what you are trying to do, but maybe this will help:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface-name> and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface-name>:<alias-name>:

  The first defines an interface, and the second contains
  only the parts of the definition that are different in a
  "alias" (or alternative) interface.  For example, the
  network numbers might be different, but everything else
  might be the same, so only the network numbers would be
  in the alias file, but all the device information would
  be in the base ifcfg file.

This is from /usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.60/sysconfig.txt
