[lfs-support] LFS and network aliases on ethernet ports
Is it possible to add alias networks to an ethernet device in LFS-7.4? I was used to the old method of having ifconfig-eth0:1, etc with the alias network defined in this file, as for the ifconfig-eth0 file. However the alias files do not appear to be recognised on boot. I don't thing the /lib/services/ipv4-static script recognises the config files. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

What are the contents of your ifconfig-eth0:1 file? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

The GATEWAY needs to be commented out since it is not in the eth0:1 network. You can then test using '/sbin/ifup eth0:1' or 'ifdown eth0:1' BTW, You never said what messages you got, if any. You should get some kind of message for either success or failure. After getting it to work, change ONBOOT back to yes. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
