SUMMARY: IP address aliasing

Thanks to Kevin Reichhart for the answer:

If you want this interface to come up at boottime, make
/etc/hostname.eri0:1 and put the hostname in it (make sure it's not the
same name as any other interfaces), create an entry in /etc/hosts with
that name and 10.10.10.1, put 10.10.10.2 in /etc/defaultgateway and

10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
in /etc/netmasks

Ah, ok, I saw the dest-addr field in the ifconfig man page and assumed
it would be for the gateway.

Thanks for the help.

You don't specify the gateway with ifconfig

ifconfig eri0:1 plumb
ifconfig eri0:1 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

should work.  To add 10.10.10.2 as a default gateway...

route add default 10.10.10.2

Hello fellow admins.

Trying to set up an alias on a Solaris 8 machine.

Tried doing the following (ip addresses changed):
10.10.10.1 being the address I want the new alias to be.
10.10.10.2 being the gateway.

ifconfig eri0:1 plumb
ifconfig eri0:1 10.10.10.1 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Did this and was booted from the box (was using eri0's network
connection (not eri0:1) to connect in).

Any help would be appreciated.
