</snip on> 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.
</snip off> Thanks, Mark. Fair question. The OSA-E card has one port connected to a switch to the intranet and a given IP address is assocated with the network interface. A group of users would like to access the lpar but with an IP address that reflects their subnet. So I thought one way be be to define another eth_ and associate their IP address scheme with it.
