Hi all,

more than one IP address.

If yes,how can we do that.

can any body send the documentation for that

Thanx in anticipation

For HP-UX 10.x you need to install the ifalias patch for the correct version, obtainable via the patch services on this web site.
For HP-UX 11.x use ifconfig.
man ifconfig

For HP-UX 10.20, use ifalias.
For instance,
To assign 15.10.10.10 for a adaptor lan0,

# ifalias lan0 add 15.10.10.10
Check this out using netstat!
# netstat -in -I lan0
To delete this entry in routing table,
# ifalias lan0 del 15.10.10.10

It's much more easier to implement this at HP-UX 11.0.
# ifconfig lan0:1 15.10.10.10 or
# ifconfig lan0:2 15.10.10.10
To remove this in routing table,
# ifconfig lan0:2 0.0.0.0

Best regards,
