Yes, you can do it the way you asked.  I guess the real question is: what
are you trying to accomplish?  The answer to that may be radically different
from what you're trying to do.

Subject: Can multiple ethx be defined on one OSA-E port


Got a question:

Can two network interface be defined with different IP addresses in a Linux
instance (in this case an lpar, SLES 8) with both interfaces using devices
numbers associated with the same OSA-E port?

For example, assuming 0000-000f are defined for a particular OSA-E port, can
two interfaces be done:

noauto;qeth1,0x0000,0x0001,0x0002;addparms,0x10,0x0000,0x0002
noauto;qeth2,0x0008,0x0009,0x000a;addparms,0x10,0x0008,0x000a

And then associate two different IP addesses (say 192.10.20.01 and
192.30.10.10) with the two different interfaces, one to eth1 and one to
eth2?

Or, is there a more appropiate way to use two IP addresses when there is
only one physical (OSA-E) port?

Thanks

Dave
