Error on multiplexed IP addresses configuration

[hp admin]

Hi all,

I work on HP-UX 10.20 system; I try to configure my ethernet
card to perform a multiplexed configuration.

I using for that the ifalias command (because 10.20), but I had the following error:

root # ifalias lan0:1 add 192.168.131.81
ifalias: ioctl (SIOCADDIFADDR): No such device or address
ifalias: Can't add 192.168.131.81
root #

root # lanscan

Path Address In# State NameUnit State ID Type Support Num
8/0/20/0 0x001083B8DA10 0 UP lan0 UP 4 ETHER Yes 75
root #

Any help please.

Thank's a lot

I just got it to work on a 10.20 machine. Your problem is you don't need to specify the lan0:1, just lan0.

Your syntax should be:

# ifalias lan0 add 192.168.131.81

you might want to make sure you have the last ifalias patch PHNE_12492 installed

Thank's a lot for you,

Now, the command is OK.

I can also ping it from the same station, but I want to ping it from an other ones.

what would I do ?
