Hi, 1) How do i add multiple loopback address in the linux (similar to cisco hw). I have one ethernet interface (192.168.101.2/24), and i want to simulate multiple private networks(10.1.1.1/24,10.2.1.1/24,10.3.1.1/24). I thought i can add multple loopback interface for each network. But i am able to add only one loopback device in the linux (I have used ifconfig lo 10.1.1.1 command for loopback device confguration. Also it doesnt accept the mask) Any idea how to add multiple loopback addresses?
2) Also routing table doesnt show the loopback device. I mean, If i ping the loopback device it pings. (ex : ping 10.1.1.1 - ping works) Suppose i want to ping the loopback device from the eth0 interface then ping failed( Ex : my eth0 ip is 192.168.101.2, & loopback ip is 10.1.1.1. ping -I eth0 10.1.1.1 is failed.no response) How do i add the route for the loopback devices. My setup: FC12 one ethernet interface present 10/100Mbps. thanks suresh _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
