Muliple IP's

Hi Experts,

How can I assign multiple IP's to a single interface.

Hi,
yes you can assign multiple IP'S to a single interface.To assign a second IP address,you add a logical instance number to a LAN adapter name.

The following command adds a second IP address, 192.168.3.5, to lan3.
#ifconfig lan3:1 192.168.3.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.168.3.255 up

# netstat -in
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Opkts
lan3 1500 192.168.3.0 192.168.3.1 0 0
lan0 1500 192.168.2.0 192.168.2.11 31740 32864
lo0 4136 127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 303 303
lan3:1 1500 192.168.3.0 192.168.3.5 0 0

To make it permanent, you have to add its configuration the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.

Re: Muliple IP's

Yes ,you can as other said that before;
The method is IP Multiplexing that means binding more than one IP address to a single network interface

Re: Muliple IP's

How to add it's configuration in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file?
My current entry:

DEFAULT_INTERFACE_MODULES=""
INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan0
IP_ADDRESS[0]=192.168.10.96
DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0
SUBNET_MASK[0]=255.255.255.0
ROUTE_MASK[0]=0.0.0.0
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=192.168.10.1
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]=""
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1
ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default

Re: Muliple IP's

To persist the configuration, modify /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. The format
should be like this:

EX:-
INTERFACE_NAME[0]="lan3"
IP_ADDRESS[0]=192.168.3.1
SUBNET_MASK[0]=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]=""
INTERFACE_STATE[0]=""
DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0

INTERFACE_NAME[1]="lan3:1"
IP_ADDRESS[1]=192.168.3.5
SUBNET_MASK[1]=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[1]=""
INTERFACE_STATE[1]=""
DHCP_ENABLE[1]=0

Hi,

It will be like:

NTERFACE_NAME[1]="lan3:1"
IP_ADDRESS[1]=192.168.3.5
SUBNET_MASK[1]=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[1]=""
INTERFACE_STATE[1]=""
DHCP_ENABLE[1]=0

Re: Muliple IP's

Vel - UX,

This is the command for logical multiplexing.

ifconfig lan1:1 172.16.20.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ifconfig lan1:2 172.16.20.8 netmask () up
on and on

Just remember lan1:0 is the same as lan1.
unplumb on a logically multiplexed interface (lan1:2) will not work.
