How can I configure the second network on my lan card?

[dtk]

I have already assigne an IP adress for my lan card and I would like to assigne the second network for it.
Can anyone tell me how to do ?

Hi,
ifconfig eth0:1
should give you the solution !
But it only assigns a second IP address on your network card.
If you want to use only 1 network card to connect 2 networks, then it's possible through vlan , but it means specific kernel , you need also on the other side a vlan capability on your switch, and it works only for some cards (or you will have to patch yourself some network cards drivers). I did it and it works...

Thanks for your answers but when I try

ifconfig lan0:1 172.20.10.41 255.255.0.0

I have the following messages :

ifconfig : no such interface

I'm running HP unix 10.20

Do you think that I have something wrong ?

You are on the wrong list. Try the HP-UX system administration list. The configuration utilitites are completely different.

Search for multi-home.

You need to know the lan card you are using. You might be using lan1 instead of lan0.

do

ifconfig lan0

and

ifconfig lan1 to know which interface would give you your actual ipaddress.

Then execcute the command again.

The command is however a tempotrary one. Whenever you reboot the server, it goes.

You actually need to edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf to achieve what is permanent. or better still use sam.
