I currently have a setup on a laptop where I have two aliases that I
always want present. I would like to setup two aliases in
/etc/dhclient.conf to handle having the Ethernet cable plugged in after
boot, but dhclient has a limit of handling only one alias.
/etc/rc.conf
ifconfig_xl0="DHCP"
ifconfig_xl0_alias0="inet 192.168.1.46 netmask 255.255.255.255"
ifconfig_xl0_alias1="inet 192.168.6.46 netmask 255.255.255.0"
The first address uses an alias-type netmask while the second is a
private network I have for QEMU.
I found that during PREINIT /sbin/dhclient-script is deleting the
192.168.1.46 address when it runs this:
ifconfig $interface inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 broadcast 255.255.255.255 up
A possible solution that works for me is to add an "alias" to this line.
It appears to work, but I do not know if this would cause problems
elsewhere or for other scenarios. Does anyone see any problems with
this change?
