Hi,
I could add upto 256 virtual interfaces on my eth0 i/f.
like this:
ifconfig eth0:255 192.168.21.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.21.255 up
Now, I need to add more than 256 virtual i/f's.
The following attempt fails:
ifconfig eth0:256 192.168.21.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.21.255 up
SIOCSIFADDR: Invalid argument
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
I guess, it fails because somewhere in the code, it is limited to 256.
How do I increase this limit? Is it possible?
TIA,
Sateesh
