I typed in the following ifconfig eth0:0 192.198.6.1 up ifconfig eth0:1 192.198.6.2 up ifconfig eth0:2 192.198.6.3 up
Now there were no errors for either of these commands. And when i pinged 192.168.6.1, I got the reply from that ip. So what exactly is happening here?
can anyone explain me more about what eth0:0,eth0:1etc denotes?
Does these commands above assign multiple address to same Operating System? I am using Ubuntu
If it is assigning multiple Ips to same machine, then does it mean that hosting a my-sql server for example, would be like hosting in four different machines or a same machine with multiple IP addresses?
