Description Amit Shah 2008-11-13 08:36:41 UTC
I'm using the F10 PR KDE spin.

NetworkManager doesn't support IP aliases (eg, eth0:0) where multiple IPs can be assigned to the same NIC/MAC address.

Comment 1 Dan Williams 2008-11-13 14:55:08 UTC
Aliasing is deprecated in general.  You can add multiple IP addresses to the _same_ device using /sbin/ip manually, or by adding multiple addresses in the NetworkManager connection editor in the IPv4 pane.  You don't need to use aliases at all.

Comment 2 Amit Shah 2008-11-14 06:57:59 UTC
Assigning multiple addresses or aliasing gives same effect. However, how to have all the IPs assigned to a NIC active at the same time? I don't see how that can be done in Network Manager (one dhcp, one static or both static or both dhcp, etc).
