Hello,
I am hoping that some wise person here can point out to me what bone-headed
thing I'm doing wrong.
I need to multihome an interface (eth0) on my Suse-Sparc (Linux version
2.4.14 ([email protected]) (gcc version egcs-2.92.11 19980921 (gcc2
ss-980609 experimental)) #1 Mon Nov 12 11:25:00 GMT 2001) box.
I have done this:
ifconfig eth0:0 a.b.c.d netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add -host a.b.c.d netmask 0.0.0.0 eth0:0
My routing table looks sane, I can ping a.b.c.d from the localhost, but not
from any other device on subnet a.b.c.0 or from the other side of our
router for that matter.
Now this procedure for adding an ip alias seems to work on Linux running on
Intel hardware. Does the Sparc kernel have Network Aliasing capabilities
(I noticed that the make menuconfig "Network Options --->" does not include
"Network Aliasing" as an option.)?
I would appreciate any help you may be able to render.
Thanks!
-Brett
