2 interfaces in a one network card
 

Hi, i'm configuring an LTSP server. I have to configure 2 interfaces of network (for example eth0 and eth1), eth0 to Internet and eth1 for the thin clients. Now i only have eth0 that i use for Internet

But i don't have idea how to configure another interface. I'm using Debian. I try to run:

ifconfig eth1 ip netmask

But this give me error "device doesn't exists"

Can anyone help please? Thx!

I THINK what you are asking how to do is to configure eth0:0 and eth0:1.

In Slackware, it's easy. I don't know about Debian.

Just Google "eth0:1 +Debian"

Hi
You have already two NICs???
"ifconfig -a" say what!!!

If you have the two NICs... the right modules are loaded?? supported??

look for errors in ..... messages .... dmesg ..... kernel log's

regards.

That's aliasing, to share 2 IP address in one NIC, not good if you try to "share" the same fisical of LAN (Internet+LAN)

Hi. Sorry, my english is not very good, hehe

Now i'm not in house, i can't probe it. When i write "ifconfig" in a terminal shows 2 interfaces: "lo" and "eth0". I use eth0 to connect Internet. I need another interface for the thin clientss

Thanks a lot ;)

You have two options Efilnei-

1) Alias the one card to two intefraces as I said above.

2) Buy a second cheap card.

You need to buy a second Network Interface Card (NIC) to get an Eth1.
