IP aliasing

This is a repost from SLES list: HTH wrote:

The "ifconfig" and "route" commands deprecated to some degree and the use of "ip" in their place is encouraged. You may want to have a look at what "ip link show" and "ip addr list" tell you instead.

And what would be the proper way of making virtual aliases created with 'ip' permanent (survive reboot)? Anyone? -- Warm regards, Michael Green
