The modern command to do that is: ip addr dev eth0 add aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/ff You can put that in rc.local if it is OK if it is set end the end of the boot process. The sysconfig for network allows you to have an alias, but that system is being depreciated as networkmanager takes over. My impression (but I haven't checked carefully) is that networkmanager doesn't really support complex static networking at this point.
