In /etc/rc.conf, add or edit lines like this (I have an 'ed0' network card): network_interfaces="lo0 ed0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0" ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_ed0_alias1="inet 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.255" You need to set the netmask of the aliases to what I have above, otherwise you won't be able to use the aliased IPs. If you want to do it from the command line (note that your aliases will be lost when you reboot unless you do the above), do this: ifconfig ed0 alias 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.255 -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
