I havent figured out how to manage those files..
The original script creates dozens of aliases - one per destination, by
replacing first Xxx with 127. This makes it intuitive where alias "points" to.
Now with each file having the same name (lo:<port>) imnot sure how to manage
these aliases.

I want to add, that I suspect that im missing something obvious and/or just
dont understand how network stack works now.
Any help is very much appreciated, since all my information is from rhel one
page guide , some blog and just trying to get aliases to work.


Manually you could do:

ip addr add 127.112.113.xxx dev lo

        I have an apple os script, that creates an lo alias ( for example
        127.112.113)

        To begin with ifconfig doesn't work on creating aliases and according
        to rhel
        docs I need to copy ethXxx files if I want to create these aliases.
        Is there a better way,  than to copy files, to achieve the same?


    What's the concern with making a new ifcfg-* file to create the alias?
