You should not leave the IP (2.x) on your system.. as when you  
reconfigure it people would expect that IP to be freed up.. in case it  
conflicts with something else on the network etc.

But the answer to your question is no, we have no way to prevent  
advertisement of an IP.

You can for a whole interface, but an alias (xx:1) is not a real  
interface.

Thanks,
