topche · 12-28-2003, 08:27 AM

In 9.0 or less in rc.inet1 i configure alias interfaces :
ifconfig eth0 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig eth0:0 1.2.3.5 netmask 255.255.255.0

in 9.1 have rc.inet1.conf:
# Config information for eth0:
IPADDR[0]=""
NETMASK[0]=""
USE_DHCP[0]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

# Config information for eth1:
IPADDR[1]=""
NETMASK[1]=""
USE_DHCP[1]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]=""

i try to config:
# Config information for eth0:0
IPADDR[0:0]=""
NETMASK[0:0]=""

but not work

how can i config alias interfaces ?

Its probably better to config alias's for your NIC or other devices in rc.modules, not in the rc.inet1 files.

rc.modules ?!?!!??! i am confused !!!
rc.modules is for loading on modules, not for configure on devices !
I can start aliases with old style, and config directly in rc.inet1 (ifconfig eth0:0 1.2.3.5 netmask 255.255.255.0), but i want use new way with rc.inet1.conf !

answer is :
ETH0_ALIAS[0]=""
ETH0_ALIAS[1]=""

Use the Google Luck !

Yes, you can configure aliases for your ethernets in rc.modules, it is possible and has been done.

Most likely it doesn't work in rc.inet1.conf is because rc.inet1 just reads from that file. So if you were to put it in there, most likely it has to be referenced I would think in the rc.inet1 file anyways.
