Re: Add an IP alias to ethernet interface

I believe that's correct. In the past the kernel supported aliases with independent statistics and the like, but that hasn't been true for years. Modern kernels don't treat aliases interfaces any different than secondary addresses on the main interface -- both interface statistics and iptables traversal treat all aliases just like the main interface, and the alternate label is only maintained to support legacy configurations and tools.

I think it's just inertia. (I didn't use iproute2 for a while, myself, even after the book started installing it. But once I started using it, it got a lot easier than I remember ifconfig being.) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGZ+bsS5vET1Wea5wRA5Z0AKCKOT5YB9SVFz9xHDuc5+8vFrU4uwCgm5Jl Dj4vBr7dkAKE5kO14b1lUZY= =cYWx -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
