Have a virtual ethernet appear as a real one
Anyone know of a way in Linux to have a virtual ethernet (e.g., eth0:1) appear as a "real" ethernet (eth1)?
I ask because I have an old Shuttle box that only has one mobo ethernet and no way to add more. I'd like to use it in my Oracle RAC lab, but RAC requires two physical ethernets. You can't fool it with eth0 and eth0:1. RAC won't setup correctly if there's only one eth adapter, so I'm wondering if there is a way to fake two ethernets.
I do not care about performance or reliability - it's my home lab. I fully realize that this violates every principle of HA, but I'm just using it to study.
Worst case, I can get a USB dongle ethernet adapter, but I'd prefer to avoid the cost if possible.
