If I do a separate ifconfig for the alias: ifconfig ed4 alias 194.100.9.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 everything works. I guess this is a feature, but it would be useful to have one ifconfig to set up everything relevant to a specific interface. Also ifconfig should complain about arguments it is not using (that is, unless this is a bug in ifconfig and it thinks it is using the arguments). ifconfig could also display aliases, would help debugging situations like this? >How-To-Repeat: Above commands for an interface. >Fix: Workaround: use separate command to set up aliases. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
