Vitrual IPs

RAC_1 — Wed, 10 Jul 2002 14:18:43 GMT

I am adding a virtual ip to a lan card, but I am not able to ping it any other server.

Can anyone give me exact steps for adding virtual ips(Including route adds etc)

Thanks in advance

hi,

try this through SAM, and ensure that it is enabled, also ensure that there is no other machine has same ip address.

you can also use the ifalias command. The Syntax for it is:

ifalias lan0 addmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.12 (where 192.166.1.12 is the ip you want to add and 255.255.255.0 is the netmask)and append the new virtual host ip address to the end of the /etc/rc.config.d/ipalias file so it is valid after a reboot.

Hope it helps

hi
use next command:
#ifconfig lan0:1 virtul_ip_address netmask your_netmask up

i.e.
#ifconfig lan0:1 192.168.0.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
