Re: [CentOS] netmask on aliases overriden by netmask on interface
Just a cautionary note, if you use snmpd you may start seeing regular "ia_addr insert" errors using this approach depending on your version of snmpd and how reporting is configured.

[CentOS] netmask on aliases overriden by netmask on interface
CentOS-6.10 We have a host with the following ifcfg file contents: BOOTPROTO=none BROADCAST="" DEFROUTE=yes DEVICE=eth1 . . . GATEWAY=X.Y.Z.234 IPADDR=A.B.C.2 IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes NAME="LAN Link - eth1" NETMASK="255.255.255.128" NETWORK="A.B.C.0" NM_CONTROLLED=no ONBOOT=yes PREFIX=25 TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no And an aliased ifcfg containing this: BOOTPROTO="none" BROADCAST="192.168.8.255" DEVICE="eth1:192008001" IPADDR="192.168.8.1" IPV6INIT="no" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" NETWORK="192.168.8.0" ONPARENT="yes" However, ifconfig shows this: # ifconfig eth1:192008001 eth1:192008001 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:25:90:61:74:C1 inet addr:192.168.8.1 Bcast:192.168.8.255 Mask:255.255.255.128 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:17 Memory:feae-feb0 Which shows that the network mask is determined by the interface mask and is not overridden by the alias definition. Is this expected behaviour? Does this mean that a particular physical interface cannot belong to more than one network, or at least not to networks having differing cidr masks? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
