Co-incidentally I've spent the last few days playing with this and after talking with Garret, who explained a few problems I was seeing, my conclusion is that it works but it needs some time spent on it to make it more useable. A netstat -i will show up the alias but I plan to look at revamping ifconfig to be more alias friendly after 2.0.5 goes out. > > For example , I have ep0 iface and I want to assign the > secondary( alias) IP address to it . > What command should be issued ? > > ifconfig ep0 alias 199.199.199.22 If you can ping it then it worked, ifconfig's command line is a bit of a mess since "alias" is treated as a flag and putting it just about anywhere works. -- Paul Richards, FreeBSD core team member.
