I am able to add virtual ip using below command
ifconfig enp0s3:0 192.168.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

[root@MoonLight-Lab01 network-scripts]# ifconfig enp0s3:0
enp0s3:0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 08:00:27:e5:ea:da txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

but with Ip add command

ip a add 192.168.1.52/24 dev enp0s3:2, command was successful but I am not able to see the vip using ifconfig. However I can see using,
ip -4 -o a
2: enp0s3 inet 192.168.1.52/24 scope global secondary enp0s3\ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

I want to know how to add virtual IP using ip command exactly same as ifconfig.

Thanks

Ok...so did you read the man page on the command??? Since you know what the ifconfig command does, reading the man page on the "ip" command will tell you what the new syntax is. And your question doesn't make sense....you're saying that you ARE able to do exactly the same things (create a virtual IP, and see it) with ip as you can with ifconfig. But your 'problem' is that you can't use the **OLD, DEPRECATED** command to see the changes??

Yes..that's exactly right. You can't.

An ethernet adapter can have multiple IP address without being an alias. Adding a label creates an alias like the old ifconfig

It's been a while since I used aliases on any of my systems but I seem to recall that "ifconfig" and "ip" had different rules about how you named/labeled the additional IP addresses. That was another initial confusion that might burn newcomers to "ip". (I haven't aliases since I switched internet providers and the new equipment freaked out when it saw multiple IP addresses with the same MAC.)

Thanks for your help.

I am able to bring up the virtual IP using below command

[root@node01 ~]# ip a add 192.168.1.5/24 broadcast 192.168.1.255 label enp0s3:2 scope global dev enp0s3
[root@node01 ~]# ifconfig enp0s3:2
enp0s3:2: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 08:00:27:c9:c4:82 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

[root@node01 ~]#

[root@node01 ~]# ifdown enp0s3:2
usage: ifdown <configuration>
[root@node01 ~]# ip link set enp0s3:2 down

The above command completely brought down my main interface instead of virtual interface. I want to know how to bring down using IP command. (ifconfig enp0s3:2 down. This command only bring down the virtual)

Thanks
