Persisting second IP address on Redhat9

Hi all,

I have just added a second IP address to one of our Redhat 9 servers
using the command:

ifconfig eth0:1 10.0.41.60 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

How do I make this change permanent, so that it keeps this second
address after a reboot?

Regards

in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
create a file with this name "ifcfg-eth0:1"
yes ":" is in the filename


DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=10.0.41.255
IPADDR=10.0.41.60
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.0.41.0
ONBOOT=yes

Yes. Just one additional caveat. Sometimes (e.g. with RH9 I believe)
this file needs to be linked other places or things break. Likely
candidates are /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices and
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default. Run ls -l on all three
directories and see what was done with ifcfg-eth0.
