In debian 6.0.4 my static ip is 192.168.1.151 and I want to add one more ip 192.168.1.175 as virtual ip. For did I made following changes in /etc/networking/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 #NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.151 gateway 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 auto eth0:0 iface eth0:0 inet static address 192.168.1.175 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1
And when I run command
/sbin/ifconfig -aI get the below information
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 44:87:fc:eb:b2:50 inet addr:192.168.1.151 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::4687:fcff:feeb:b250/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:338433 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:238153 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:337480876 (321.8 MiB) TX bytes:68577550 (65.4 MiB) Interrupt:25 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:3735 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3735 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:494269 (482.6 KiB) TX bytes:494269 (482.6 KiB) pan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 16:56:67:bf:36:84 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
Mostly I get this but some time i get the virtual ip in the output. I have to make virtual ip permanent. How can i do that? Also I will assign this virtual ip (192.168.1.175) to two machine.
Thanks
