This isent a problem just a curiousity question really,
I have configured a second address on one of my network card and this works fine but isent shown in the output from ifconfig it used to show as eth1:1
| Code: |
extreme ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0=( "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" )
config_eth1=( "10.0.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 10.0.0.255"
"10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 10.0.0.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" )
|
| Code: |
extreme ~ # ifconfig

The ifconfig command only understands one IP address per interface, so the eth1:0, eth1:1, etc technique was invented as a workaround. Gentoo's init scripts use the newer ip command by default, which doesn't have this limitation - run to see - but as you've discovered this does mean that ifconfig won't recognise that you have multiple addresses. If you want it to use ifconfig and the old method instead, you can add | Code: | | modules=( "ifconfig" ) |
to /etc/conf.d/net. |
