Title: more than one ip adress
Post by: Poul Erik Lovskov on July 05, 2002, 01:08:05 AM

Hi

Is it possible to assign more than one ip adress to one nic?

Crazy router configuration from an ISP in Denmark.

Anyone that has tried it?

only trouble is read the last part  starts with
 "last you have to change the /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq file"

I don't know much about masq but i only needed it to work for a short time.
you will have to alter the templates for the masq file

Maybe someone else can help you with altering it

Yes, it's quite easy. I have all three of our static IPs bound to our SME (since we don't have anything else to use them). /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 or ifcfg-eth0 will contain the configuration for your NIC. Just copy it to ifcfg-eth1:0, then change the line in the file that has the IP address. Use ifcfg-eth1:1, ifcfg-eth1:2, ifcfg-eth1:3, etc. to add more addresses. Works great for me on 5.0b4, with no other changes.
