I added the secondary IP address to the rc.conf ,and gave a reboot for = the secondary IP address to get activated . On reboot I was not able to connect the machine thru SSH as it used to = before the configuration changes were made. Looking at this i went to my FreeBSD box physicaly and logged in to the = root account , I then thought of replacing the original rc.conf as i was = not able to figure out any problem .So did I . Then gave a reboot for the changes . Then tried to ping the machine from another machine on the same network = ,but was not able to ping or SSH it . So i went back to the machine physically logged in and tried to ping = other machines in the network,I was not able to ping . then I checked pinging the loopback address ,that too i was not able to = ping. It seems that my IP address is not binding to the NIC card . Is there any solution for this .
