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

I assume its like creating a sub-interface(i think that's what its
called) on a cisco router. I have limited experience with cisco stuff,
maybe someone will chime in and fill in the blanks. Anyway its not hard
to actually do it on a "real" router, just a handful of terminal
commands is all it takes. Now if I could just remember them all, the
command completion on a cisco router is pretty effective though.
