floating ip query

[khilari]

Hi guys, i have mcservice guard running and i am getting this entry when i do a netstat -in. Now, i wanted to know does lan1:1 mean i have floating ip on it. And how many floating ips can i have on a single lancard. And with cmmodnet what will be the syntax to put or delete floating ip's
Thanks
lan1:1 1500 142.238.0.0 142.238.64.65 18786183 0 565 0 0

This indicates that you do have a 2nd IP on the lan1 interface. Your regular IP would be lan1, the 2nd (this one) lan1:1, if you had a third it could be lan1:2.

It doesn't necessarily indicate a floating IP, though the chances are pretty good that it is your floating IP.

I believe a NIC will support up to 30 IPs.
cmmodnet is normally used within the package control script to add or remove a relocatable IP - you should not have to use it manually. However if you want to, 'ifconfig' is able to add additional IPs to a NIC.

Plus, the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log shows the cmmodnet command used to add or remove IPs from a NIC.
