As far as I know, but please detail what they should be. I've made more than my share of dumb mistakes in my lifetime.
Here's an example of adding a new one. No aliasas will set now, I've tried to do them in rc.conf. # ifconfig rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet XXX.XXX.44.91 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast XXX.XXX.44.95 ether 00:05:5d:32:c6:9c media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active rl1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:50:70:d1:17:02 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ng0: flags=8890<POINTOPOINT,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 # ifconfig rl0 alias XXX.XXX.44.92 netmask 255.255.255.248 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists IP's altered to protect innocent firewalls. ---------------------------------------------------- Matt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Giorgos Keramidas Sent: Saturday, February 15, 2003 11:07 PM To: Matthew Jonkman Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 5.0-REL alias problem On 2003-02-10 14:59, Matthew Jonkman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I can't add more than one alias to an interface on a new install of > 5.0-rel. > > I have tried specifying every possible detail of the alias but no > change, just get this: > > ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists > > The first alias works fine, can't add more.

Hmmm, are you sure you're using the correct ifconfig params? # ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias # ifconfig lo0 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet 127.0.0.2 netmask 0xffffffff # ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 -alias # ifconfig lo0 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 # To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
