Subject: [gentoo-user] How to configure eth1:1 ?
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 21:25:55 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <j7i6h3$8ur$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

I'm trying to configure a second IP address for eth1 using the syntax
I found at

  http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4&chap=2#doc_chap1

But, it doesn't work.

Here's my /etc/init.d/net file:

  config_eth0="192.168.8.4/16"
  routes_eth0="default via 192.168.0.254"
  config_eth1=10.0.0.1/8"
  192.168.250.1/24"

But, starting eth1 says:

# /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
 * Bringing up interface eth1
 *   Starting netplug on eth1 ...                                 [ ok ]
 *     Backgrounding ...
 * ERROR: net.eth1 failed to start
 
Only eth1 is configured.  eth1:1 isn't configured.




If I configure the interfaces by hand, it works fine:

alpha init.d # ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.1/8
alpha init.d # ifconfig eth1:1 192.168.250.1/24
alpha init.d # ifconfig

[...]

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:16:17:84:a7:b3  
          inet addr:10.0.0.1  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0

How do I configure a second IP address for an interface?
