Answer 1

If you are looking for a command line version try:

 ip addr add 10.1.1.1/24 dev eth0

These setting are temporary and they will be lost on next reboot.

Answer 2

You can add a virtual IP address, otherwise, you'll need to add an extra NIC and assign it an IP address.

Tutorial on adding a Virtual IP address: LINK

For adding a NIC and assigning it an IP address, look under System > Network Configuration or something like that. In command line run: system-config-network. You might need to install the Administration Tools group.

I will have two static ips as 77.78.8.111 and 77.78.8.89

I will have this configure:

DEVICE=eth0:0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=77.78.8.111
BROADCAST = ???????
NETWORK=????
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes

and

DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=77.78.8.89
BROADCAST = ??????
NETWORK=????
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes

What value would for BROADCAST and NETMASK ?

this if the ifconfig output:
