I have a 5.2.1 server which I need to add IP's to. When the provider
assigned me the IP's they also said use the netmask 255.255.255.240. I
added the IP's to my rc.conf as you can see below but they do not show up in
my ifconfig.
MY rc.conf:
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Wed Nov 3 09:22:52 2004
# Created: Wed Nov 3 09:22:52 2004
# Enable network daemons for user convenience.
# Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

Here is my ifconfig:
[7:58](freebie@warped)[/etc]> ifconfig
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 208.53.17X.8 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 208.53.17X.255
inet6 fe80::220:edff:fe27:63aa%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
inet 208.53.17X.2 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 208.53.17X.15
ether 00:20:ed:27:63:aa
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
plip0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
Only the first IP 208.53.17X.2 showed up in the ifconfig. That tells me
there is something wrong with the following line but I can not find anything
wrong with the line.
If I try and ping the next IP from the box locally I get the following:
[7:58](freebie@warped)[/etc]> ping 208.53.17X.3
PING 208.53.17X.3 (208.53.17X.3): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
^C
Why don't my IP's show up in ifconfig?
