[Linux-users] 2 IP's on the same network card

[Dirk Moolman]

Ok, I found it - and it is actually so simple:

http://learnlinux.tsf.org.za/courses/build/net-admin/ch01s10.html

To plumb your device, you may run the command:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig eth0:1 172.16.5.1 netmask 255.255.255.0


"These commands would plumb the interface. Notice that the eth0:1 gives
the interface the second IP address. Using any number in place of the
'1' would also work."

I've been Googling, but I just can't seem to get the right command for
this.

I need to configure 2 ip adresses on the same network card.  On solaris
we used to create for example, eth0 and eth0:1  (by plumbing the
devices).

I read that it can be done on Linux, but I can't find the command or
syntax to do this.   My ifconfig does not seem to have a plumb option.

I am using Suse SLES9.   Is this possible ?
