Hi,
This is my first post to the list and you guessed it, I have a
question.
I have debian 3.0 "woody" installed and working but I cannot get
virtual IPs setup.
uname -a gives
Linux adebbox 2.2.20-idepci #1 Sat Apr 20 12:45:19 EST 2002 i686 unknown
I have tried adding the following to /etc/network/interfaces
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 172.25.199.112
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 172.25.199.0
broadcast 172.25.199.255
gateway 172.25.199.144
auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 172.25.199.122
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 172.25.199.0
broadcast 172.25.199.255
gateway 172.25.199.144
As well as trying it from the command line:
ifconfig eth0:1 172.25.199.122 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 172.25.199.255
on both occasions I get errors like:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
I have tried google and the debian lists archive and I see answers
along the lines of
recompile the kernel with CONFIG_IP_ALIAS=y
or
modprobe ip_alias
Can anyone confirm that I need to re-compile the kernel in order to get
it working or how I can get hold of the ip_alias module?
I tried modprobe ip_alias
which gives:
modprobe: Can't locate module ip_alias
Many Thanks,
Sil
