While you can certainly add additional addresses in IPv4, it's not quite as easy as IPv6.
Hm, it's not really a problem: ip address add 1.1.1.1/24 dev eth0 ip address add 1.1.2.1/24 dev eth0 Exact the same way you would do for IPv6.
As shown here, openSUSE 12.1 does this, as does Windows 7. So, yes there's going to be a lot of problems, if the network continues to do that. The alternative is to reconfigure all 6000 nodes. Which is the bigger problem?
I can't follow you. The network admin makes the routing rules not the client admin. As others have mentioned already the network staff probably wants to track what _your_ machine is doing within the network thus they don't allow you to use randomized addresses for a good reason. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
