Hi, all,

I assigned 2 ip address to one ethernet card.
One is eth0 and another is eth0:1.
INPUT and FORWARD policy is DROP
When I input
iptables -A  INPUT -i eth0:1 -j ACCEPT
I got warning
Warning: wierd character in interface `eth0:1' (No aliases, :, ! or *).
and no packet come through this interface.
Kindly advice please.

You are getting a lot of questionable advice about how to solve this problem.

iptables/NetFilter do not recognize the old alias notation. Rather than "-i eth0:1", you want "-i eth0 -d <ip address of eth0:1>". So for example, if eth0:1 has IP address 192.168.12.14, then your rule is:

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d 192.168.12.14 -j ACCEPT
