Loopback IP Addresses

[Jeff Mcneil]

I'm trying to add IP Addresses to my loopback adapter (lo0) on an HP 11.0
server. I'm doing this to eliminate arp traffic, and we'll add static routes
at the router level.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but:

ifconfig lo0:1 10.10.6.60

Should do it?

I can ping the new address just fine, but here's what I get when I try to
FTP/Telnet/Whatever:

read: Connection reset by peer

-or-

Service Not avalible


Has anyone done this before? Or have some pointers for me?

Thanks,

Jeff

If you are doing this on line, you may have to reset the daemons and inetd so
they use the newly added interface. With telnet, try "inetd -c" after adding
the interface. If it works, they stop and start the NFS, FTPD - or reboot to
be sure you get them all. Don't forget to look at the /usr/adm/inetd.sec file
as it can also be an issue.

Nope.. no go. I'm not using inetd.sec file. Rebooted, restarted, and -c'd.
Still nothing.
