I apparently have my alias files all ifcfg-eth0:0 - ifcfg-eth0:7 show
DEVICE=eth0:0. Is this right? It seems odd to me and while it does seem odd, the alias IPs are being appropriately responded to, answering pings and nameserver requests.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 = DEVICE=eth0:0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1 = DEVICE=eth0:1
My question now is, how can the box be responding to all those IPs with the ifcfg-eth0:x files clearly not what they should be?
The network init scripts do not actually use /sbin/ifconfig, they really use /sbin/ip from the iproute package. I suspect if you run "ip addr list" you will see all of your IP addresses under "eth0".
