Re: [CentOS] question on alias IPs using ifcfg-eth0:x

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

Hi Barry,

Thanks for your quick response. I am going to make those changes and restart network services in a few minutes.

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?

Not a crucial question, but one of interest.

Thanks again, ~Ray
