Yes, it's off-topic for security list.
I am using SuSE 9.1, I modify manually the file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-00:09:6b:ba:28:a0 to add this config:
eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:6B:BA:28:A0 inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Here is the file: BOOTPROTO='dhcp' MTU='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='onboot' UNIQUE='oxTw.JIMl2CweY+3'
IPADDR_0='192.168.1.100' NETMASK_0='255.255.255.0' BROADCAST_0='192.168.1.255' NETWORK_0='192.168.1.0'
You need to add line "LABEL_0='eth0:0'" if you want to see your interface in ifconfig command.
ifconfig show:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:6B:BA:28:A0 inet addr:XXX.XX.XX.135 Bcast:XXX.XX.XX.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::209:6bff:feba:28a0/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:37863 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3318 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2821465 (2.6 Mb) TX bytes:343335 (335.2 Kb)

Absolutely correct. To see your alias use "ip addr show" command
If I do the command manually ( >ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255), it's working fine until I reboot. I try to find the way to have it at boot time via the file ifcfg-eth-id-00:09:6b:ba:28:a0. It's suppose to work according to the documentation, so what's missing.
ifcfg(5): LABEL[suffix] Each address may be tagged with a label string. For details see manpage of ip SUSE uses ip command to configure interfaces, not ifconfig.
Thank's,
You are welcome.
Michel.
