How to make Virtual IP address permenant with every reboot--------------
 

hello sir,
I am using a Redhat 9 machine with one ethernet card (with one IP address).
I had given a Virtual IP address to the same card using ifconfig command.
Now I can see both the IP addresses using ifconfig .

But whenever I reboot the system Only one IP address remains.

How to make both the IP addresses permanent with every reboot.


Thanks

if this is what you are talking about then you can add the script. it has been some time since i touched rh9 but on rhel2.1/3/4 and fc1/2/3 and the scripts are found in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

you should have an ifcfg-eth0 already. copy it to ifcfg-eth0:1 (cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0\:1) and then edit it with the appropriate information being sure to change DEVICE=eth0 to DEVICE=eth0:1

doing this should also allow for if[down|up] eth0:1 to work


...or you could just add your ifconfig for the virtIP to rc.local


hope this helps

Thank you very much sir

My Problem got solved in just 5 minutes with your suggestions.
