[NTLUG:Discuss] Newbie Question NIC / IP address

[Bug Hunter]

  from the command line, as root:

 ifconfig eth0:1 172.16.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

  in /etc/syconfig/network-scripts  copy ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth0:1, and
edit the device=eth0 to device=eth0:1 and change the other parameters.
Then do /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

  Note that you can use linuxconf, webmin, and a host of other programs to
do this.  However, by hand, you at least know what is going on "behind the
scenes"
