How would I do this in FBSD, setting up an aliased ether to an Ip address?
my current rc.conf file currently contains just the address of the
machine, as such.
ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0
Add something like:
ifconfig_rl0_alias0=inet 192.168.0.200 netmask 0x
to rc.conf
Perfect solution, thank you for your geat input.
if you want to bring this up without rebooting, try
ifconfig rl0 alias 192.168.0.200 netmask 0x
Right..
Note. That the netmask is 0x if the alias is on the same subnet as
the original IP, if different, then use the appropriate submask for the new
alias.
Yes, when I build these systems, I usually put them on the same subnet to
keep it simple...unless I can't.
Thanks very much Barry... In many ways, I find FBSD more powerful, yet
more simple to use than Linux (at least so far).. g

Doing a job RIGHT the first time gets the job done. Doing the
job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security.
