ifcfg-eth0:1 ifcfg-eth0:0

Ok, I almost forgot...

Should the first alias (virtual address) start with a zero?
Can it start with a one, or does this cause a problem?
e.g.; ifcfg-eth0:1 or ifcfg-eth0:0

Thanks again!

Hi,

I think it needs to start with ":1"

Bye,

It doesn't need to be a number:
# ifconfig ath0:local 172.168.77.7 succeeds.

ath0:loca Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:02:76:04:4B
inet addr:172.168.77.7 Bcast:172.168.255.255
Mask:255.255.0.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Interrupt:11 Memory:d89c0000-d89d0000

Note that ifconfig only displays 4 character, but there are really 5:
# ifconfig ath0:loca down
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
Whereas # ifconfig ath0:local down succeeds.
