Your memory isn't quite accurate... ifconfig has never handled multiple IP addresses on an interface with aliases being used to create separate virtual interfaces instead.


Well recently I was going by:

http://www.tecmint.com/create-multiple-ip-addresses-to-one-single-network-interface/

Which show ifconfig listing all the ethn:m interfaces. Also I use to do a lot of vlaning when I ran radvd on linux before my firewall supported it. Now maybe that was back in Centos 4 days.

It is also not a shell over ip but rather a completely different package with a completely different development history...

This is just yet another example of why net-tools has been deprecated a long time and that people really need to break their muscle memory and use iproute2 ...


Working on it.  Really.

Is net-tools still in the base fedora install? Probably long since time to pull it if so... I know el7 doesn't include it in base or core package groups anymore at least..
