Hi, i would like to know if it's possible to assign 2 IP to a NIC with Solaris 8?
I looked high and low and can't find the answer to my question...
Please can someone help me?
If you guys got any good website (English / French) that explain how to do that it would be really appreciated.
Thx

The 'ifconfig' man page has details. If you don't care about the interface created, use 'addif'.
addif address
Create the next unused logical interface on the speci-
fied physical interface.
ifconfig <int> addif <IP>

Yes, absolutely.

In this case I picked it just because I thought the man page could explain 'addif' more easily than the entire concept of virtual interfaces (which you then have to plumb..).
Of course I also think that the configuration of the virtual interface is simpler
echo "xx.xx.xx.xx" > /etc/hostname.<int>:1
To do it with addif, you have to make additional changes to /etc/hostname.<int> that makes it a little less nice.
