ifalias command

Shyjith P K — Sat, 10 Feb 2001 06:09:10 GMT

I have C200 work station running hpux 10.20. Can I configure 2 network addresses for lan0 and configure the worktation as a router?

With the ifalias patch, you can assign multiple IP addresses to the same network card.

To configure the workstation as a router, make sure that your ROUTE_COUNT is equal to "0"

The command:
ifalias lan0 add should work.
As for configuring as a router, I didn't have to do anything except tell the remote systems to use the machine as a router.

Workstations in other network are able to access my workstation (where I configured ifalias). But I am not able to access other network.

My network address is 192.4.1.0
Other netwotk address is 190.1.0.0

What could be the problem? Please help me out.

what does netstat -i show? and netstat -r?

You may have the routing statement incorrectly specified

If your aliased address is a different class IP, you may need to run

# ifalias lan# addmask subnet_mask ip_address

what does netstat -r show? do you have the other network there..

route add net 190.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gateway (ip) 1

the 1 is for the hop count across the router to the other network
