rc.inet1.conf - multiple ips

[forgottentq]

Is there a way to set the equv of "ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.10.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.10.255" through /etc/rc.inet1.conf ??

Hi

I believe this feature was added to rc.inet1.conf in 10.2

anyway

try this, I see that rc.inet1 does this:

############################
# DETERMINE INTERFACE LIST #
############################

# Compose a list of interfaces from /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf (with a maximum
# of 6 interfaces, but you can easily enlarge the interface limit
# - send me a picture of such a box :-).
# If a value for IFNAME[n] is not set, we assume it is an eth'n' interface.
# This way, the new script is compatible with older rc.inet1.conf files.
# The IFNAME array will be used to determine which interfaces to bring up/down.
MAXNICS=6
i=0
while [ $i -lt $MAXNICS ];
do
  IFNAME[$i]=${IFNAME[$i]:=eth${i}}
  i=$(($i+1))
done
if [ "$DEBUG_ETH_UP" = "yes" ]; then
  echo "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1:  List of interfaces: '${IFNAME[@]}'" | $LOGGER
fi

anyway, I believe in rc.inet1.conf if you set IFNAME too, you can specify the interface, you can try it at least.

# Config information for eth0:0
IFNAME[7]="eth0:0"
IPADDR[7]="192.168.0.100"
NETMASK[7]="255.255.255.0"
USE_DHCP[7]="no"
DHCP_HOSTNAME[7]=""

at the end of your /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf

I'm not sure it'll work but its worth an attempt.

nope that doesn't work kern... really good idea.. I really don't think there is a way.. Guess its just gonna have to be a shell script and a cron job .. thanx anway.

did you try a different number than 7? I just noticed $MAXNICS is 6
