Re: ifcfg-ethX voodoo for a second IP on the same interface

For testing purposes I need to add a second IP address to eth0.

eth0 is managed by NetworkManager, and uses dhcp.

I know that if I get rid of NetworkManager and put static IP addresses in
ifcfg-eth0, I can also sprinkle some magic dust into ifcfg-eth0:1, and have the
second IP address come up together with the first one.

This does not seem to work with a NetworkManager-managed DHCP-based interface.

Basically, is there some voodoo I can throw in a file somewhere that would perform
the equivalent of:

ip addr add 192.168.0.5 dev eth0 label eth0:1

when eth0 comes up via DHCP, by NetworkManager?


Well..... I think you can only do this with static IP addresses....

But, all you have to do is modify /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-whatever to have

IPADDR0=192.168.0.225
IPADDR1=192.168.0.226

for example....

Then you'd see...
