2nd ip to lan interface card

[Scott Ransted]

I've got a primary ip address assigned to lan1
INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1
IP_ADDRESS[0]=xx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I want to add a 2nd ip. Can I add it as:
INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1:1
IP_ADDRESS[0]=xx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I think this will work, but I need to be sure. I was able to add on the fly with ifconfig, but I need to verify that this will work at bootup.

Thanks

Scott, been a while since I've done that, but looks like your good.

you need to change 0 to 1

INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan1:1
IP_ADDRESS[1]=xx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Also, you may need to change the [0] to [1] etc...

Hi Scott,

Yep - just increment the index & you're good to go @ boot. If you need it ASAP then bounce the net daemon or run
ifconfig lan1:1 xx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ifconfig lan1:1 up
& off you go.
