I have read the current Debian networking docs on the subject (https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#iproute2_method). I want to use at least two IPv4 static addresses on the same physical NIC. Following examples I have tried this in my "/etc/network/interfaces" file:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.17 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 dns-nameservers 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 # add new IPv4 devices up ip addr add 192.168.0.18/24 dev $IFACE label $IFACE:0 down ip addr del 192.168.0.18/24 dev $IFACE label $IFACE:0 up ip addr add 192.168.0.19/24 dev $IFACE label $IFACE:1 down ip addr del 192.168.0.19/24 dev $IFACE label $IFACE:1 Then, as root, I executed "service networking restart" and all looked well until I logged in to another host and tried to ping the new IP and got no good ping. Has anyone any ideas about what I am doing wrong? I have installed the vlan and iproute2 packages and removed the iproute package. Do I need to do something about kernel modules? I saw nothing in the doc about that, but I seem to remember having to fool with that in the old days. . Thanks for any help. Best regards, -Tom
