Multiple IP addresses

james_cwy · 03-10-2004, 08:28 PM

I am running redhat 9 and would like to configure my eth0 to have multiple IP addresses.

I know this can be done using Windows but am unsure whether this is possible in redhat 9.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Give this a try:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.100
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.101

Then try:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0

to see if it worked.

Good luck.

I would like to add this IP:

172.32.10.50

The current IP of my redhat machine is xxx.xxx.xxx.165.

Thanks

Has anyone tried setting multiple IPs and if you have been successful, hope you can share your experience and the way you did it.

Thanks a lot
Appreciate it

I have gotten this to work.

ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255

I have been using this to virtual host a web site and haven't had any problems.

You may want to add this to your rc.local file if you want it to continue if you restart.

I managed to configure two IP addresses and could access the Internet at that time

After some weeks, I could not connect to the Internet unless I deactivate the eth0:1. Then later reactivating it and it would be OK

Is this suppose to happen anyway?
