Summary: Configuring a second IP address

Thanks to:  	Jeffery H.
		Kazuro F.
		Martin A.
		Dr. Thomas
		Scott M.
		Shaun R.	for all the suggestions.


I ultimately did the #2 option without the netmask.

		# ifconfig tu0 alias 10.1.1.x=20

              I added the above line to /etc/inet.local to make it permanen=
t.


			=09
I can now ping/ssh (etc.) to 10.1.1.xxx and 10.1.1.yyy all on tu0. =20

It works like a champ...

Thanks again!

Dale

Subject: Configuring a second IP address

It has been a while since I've had to add a second IP address to a Tru64 se=
rver -- so I thought I'd check with the list to see if I could get some hel=
p.

I have an existing server I would like to add a secondary IP address to (wi=
thout having to reboot).=A0=A0=20


I found a few suggestions via Google:


	1) # ifconfig tu0 alias 10.1.1.x

		to make it permanent use

	# vi /etc/rc.config
	IFCONFIG_1=3D"alias 10.1.1.x"
	NETDEV_1=3D"tu0"
	NUM_NETCONFIG=3D"2"


and


2) =A0=A0# ifconfig tu0 alias 10.1.1.x netmask 255.255.255.0

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 Then place the above line into /etc/inet.local to =
make it permanent.





Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
