I have set up correctly the card with ip, dns and all the stuff, and connection works : but now I would like to ADD a new configuration on the same card but with different parameters after some works have been done in my workplace and I cannot use the same ip address (and all other parameters) on different floors and sections of the building. What do I have to do? Can I follow the YAST configuration wizard or do I have to make some set up in order to have a double ip and make the machine automatically choose the ip?
I did this, but only for an IP in the same network as the first one.
I found it easier to setup editing the file
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ehtx
where x is the number of the interface (probably 0 for yours unless you have more than one card).
Mine looks like this...
BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='192.168.1.255' IPADDR='192.168.1.3' IPADDR_1='192.168.1.200' ->>> adds the address to the card IPADDR_2='192.168.1.201' ->>> adds another address MTU='' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' NETWORK='192.168.1.0' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='onboot' UNIQUE=''
In /etc/sysconfig/network find ifcfg-eth0 and make copies like so: ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:0 ifcfg-eth0:1 Modify :0 and :1 , as many others as you need, with the appropriate information based on subnet, etc. and rcnetwork reload, or restart. This will give you what is referred to as IP aliasing; multiple IP/masks on the one interface. You can figure out what info to put in each based on the original. -- Brad Shelton On Line Exchange http://www.ole.net Phone: 313-526-1111 Fax: 313-526-3333
