Hi guys,

 

I have a fedora bo set up. Its on a remote server few thousand miles from me.

 

When they set the box up they didn't compile IP-Alias.

 

How do i go about installing it.

 

 

Thanks


What is ip-alias? A program? A library? Do you have an URL?

Ip-Alias is something that the engineers shoulda compiled when they did the install.

 

It allows you to run numerous Ip's from 1 nic


Why don't you just add virtual interfaces like "eth0:0, eth0:1, ..." (ifconfig eth0:0 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 up) then? You just have to enable that in your kernel if you don't already have it enabled.

Thank you So much.

 

i was under the impression that i had to have Ip-Alias loaded for this to work.

the RH/fedora kernels are all set for ip-aliasing
