I'm trying to setup IP aliasing on Redhat5.2 which we have just installed. After I type in the ifconfig and route commands and see things working well, I decided to edit the network-scripts to save these settings so they'll come back when I reboot. I created ifcfg-eth0:0 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts DEVICE=eth0:0 IPADDR="209.240.143.3" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" NETWORK=209.240.143.0 BROADCAST=209.240.143.255 ONBOOT=yes However, after rebooting, I see this: eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:C9:C9:40:7A inet addr:209.240.143.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 ....... Notice the IP address is wrong. I also tried to manually call "ifup eth0:0" and it does it correctly. I tried to use linuxconf and it doesn't work. The problem seems to occur when booting, the ifcfg-eth0:0 file is parsed incorrectly. Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks, David Young
Did you try using eth0:1 instead?
Yes I have tried etho0:1. In fact, originally, I setup eth0:0 through eth0:4 and none of them work after rebooting. Could this be a linuxconf problem? We are not running the default linuxconf that came with redhat5.2. We have updated the linuxconf rpm to version 1.13r5
There are a lot of changes between the "official" linuxconf and the Red Hat linuxconf. This smells like one of those changes, probably due to the quotes around the IPADDR. Please reopen this bug if that is not the case.
