[Fedora] Setting IP Aliases via SSH

**Geffy** · March 15th, 2005

OK, heres the thing I have to setup a Fedora server to have another 4 ip addresses. I have managed to change it from one ip range to another by modifying /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

now how do I add ip address aliases. I have googled about and havent found anything shockingly helpful

am I correct in thinking that it should be something along the line of
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1

and so on

or maybe
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0-range0
and then define the range within that??

have I got this right?

went with the range format, seems to have worked out right

THose scripts just get executed on bootup, so it does not matter what you call em.

Call em damnwhydidiinstallfedoraandnotBSD :P J/K

it matter what I call them, they are text files of a specific format

the rest of what is in there could be named whatever though, but those files had to be named specifically

I just wish linux didnt put stuff in stupid places
/etc/rc.conf makes so much more sense

just pop the ifconfig commands in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

I forget what they are off the top of my head.

in geffy's defence, i was poking him with a large pointy stick to do this... it was obviously not his prefered choice of OS

geffy - i think you're converting me to the BSD following

Good good. The more members the merrier. Now pleas be aware, the BSD group does not allow such things as:

1337, or hax0r in the group :P (Sorry, stereo type, which mostly seems true).

**NetRyder** · March 16th, 2005

Did someone say switchers?

**LordOfLA** · March 16th, 2005

BSD really is nice for sysadmins. Lets you be lazy and look busy while being lazy
