I'm trying to configure a second IP address for eth1 using the syntax I found at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4&chap=2#doc_chap1 But, it doesn't work. Here's my /etc/init.d/net file: config_eth0="192.168.8.4/16" routes_eth0="default via 192.168.0.254" config_eth1=10.0.0.1/8" 192.168.250.1/24" But, starting eth1 says: # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start * Bringing up interface eth1 * Starting netplug on eth1 ... [ ok ] * Backgrounding ... * ERROR: net.eth1 failed to start Only eth1 is configured. eth1:1 isn't configured. If I configure the interfaces by hand, it works fine: alpha init.d # ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.1/8 alpha init.d # ifconfig eth1:1 192.168.250.1/24 alpha init.d # ifconfig [...] eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:17:84:a7:b3 inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:128173 errors:0 dropped:120 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:57741 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:10965596 (10.4 MiB) TX bytes:39773535 (37.9 MiB) Interrupt:20 Base address:0xc000 eth1:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:17:84:a7:b3 inet addr:192.168.250.1 Bcast:192.168.250.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:20 Base address:0xc000 [...] How do I configure a second IP address for an interface? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
