This is easier in SUSE. From /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template:
## Multiple addresses
## You can extend the variable name 'IPADDR' by any string you like
(IPADDR_1,
## IPADDR_FOO, IPADDRxxx, ...) and use these variables for your IP
addresses.
## If you need some additional parameters for these addresses, then just
add
## the same extension to these variable names.
## IPADDR_AAA=1.2.3.4
## NETMASK_AAA=255.0.0.0
## BROADCAST_AAA=1.2.3.55
## IPADDR_BBB=10.10.2.3/16
## LABEL_BBB=BBB
## an so on ...
##
## You do not need to set a label for any address. But then you should not use
## ifconfig any longer; go and use ip. If you want to use ifconfig then omit
the
## label for your main address and set a label for every additional address.
So you simply need to edit the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-<mac> file
and add the addresses. I usually specify only IPADDR for each additional
entry in cidr format like so:
IPADDR_FOO='10.1.1.1/24'
IPADDR_BAR='192.168.1.1/24'
Once you save the file, there's no need for a reboot. You can do one of the
following:
ifdown <devicename> ; ifup <devicename>
or
rcnetwork restart
Hope that helps,
