Second address (virtual) to NIC

29 Jun 2004


      Hi !

        Is this the virtual address setup in YaST is broken, or I am doing
something wrong ?

        YaST/Network Devices/Network Card/Change/Edit/Advanced/Virtual
Aliases
        Alias Name=1
        IP Address=102.168.1.10
        Netmask=255.255.255.0

        ifconfig -a does not show the new virtual interface.

        How can I add a virtual (second) address to my NIC ?

        My system is a SuSE 9.1, a 3COM Tornado card with the primary
address set by a DHCP server.

        I have no problem adding the second address manually, I mean:

        ifconfig eth0:1 inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up


        regards,
