I added some virtual IPs to my eth0 interface in CentOS 6.5,

ip addr add 192.168.100.2 dev eth0

I then simply added a VLAN on eth0.

vconfig eth0 10

The VLAN was created but it removes any of my added IPs on eth0 (eg. 192.168.100.2).

I didn't face this issue in CentOS 5.X. The eth0 retains IPs.

use ip notation for the vlan too - see the archlinux wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VLAN

ip link add link eth0 name eth0.10 type vlan id 10

  • Thanks, with Google search I came across the same link. Tried but it has the same problem. All other IPs (except the physical IP) disappear.

  • order is important - first create the link, then add new addr to the new link: ip addr add 192.168.100.2 dev eth0.10

  • The problem I'm facing is with IPs on eth0 which I want to retain. IPs for eth0.10 could be added later without a problem. The IPs however are retained on CentOS 5.4.

It is probably an issue with CentOS 6.5. It worked fine when tried on CentOS 6.4. The IPs on the interface are retained.
