Yes, I know its much too old, but...
How to add an alias ip address to a NIC?
Assume eth0 has 123.45.67.89 working fine now.
How to add 77.44.33.11 to eth0, so that it listens on both addresses?
Open rc.config (don't know for sure, but I think it's the right place in 7.1) and edit/add the following entries: # two interfaces NETCONFIG "_0 _1" # IP Addresses IPADDR_0="77.44.33.11" IPADDR_1="77.44.33.12" # <-- add alias IP here #network devices NETDEV_0="eth0" NETDEV_1="eth0:0" # <-- for your alias IP With these modifications the alias survives a reboot. If you need to add an alias temporarily enter: # ifconfig eth0:0 77.44.33.12 netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up on the command line. A ping to the address should then be answered. \Steve
