Hi ;
   I have read man ifconfig but not understand the definition the use of
"alias" . Can somebody explain to me in simple definition , gives
example on how to use ethernet alias ?
When I type netstat -r , my routing table shows me like this .....

nternet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif
Expire
default            192.168.100.5      UGSc        2    91955      xl0
localhost          localhost          UH          0        0      lo0
192.168.100/30     link#2             UC          0        0      xl1 =>

192.168.100.4/30   link#1             UC          0        0      xl0 =>

192.168.1.0/24      link#3             UC          0        0      rl0
=>
172.16.100.0/24   192.168.100.1      UGSc        0      668      xl1

In the Gateway column , is there a way to rename link#2 , link#1, link#3
to either IP address or other name ?
