Just want to make sure I am understanding what I am reading. I am
going through the Red Hat Documentation on IP aliasing. I am on a class
C network, and the IP address assigned to my NIC is 204.221.252.105, but
now I also want it to start answering requests for the IP 204.221.252.106.
I do have IP aliasing enabled in the kernel. Would I simply type:
root# ifconfig eth0 204.221.252.106 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
(note I did not identify a virtual ethernet device. I am assuming I
would not need to since I am not spanning two different networks.)
I would try this, but I need to make sure I know what I am doing before
I request my additional IP and start screwing up the network my machine is
running on. Thanks.
