The following reply was made to PR kern/752; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Garrett A. Wollman" <wollman@lcs.mit.edu> To: curt@emergent.com Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: kern/752: ifconfig alias busted deep in networking code Date: Thu, 28 Sep 1995 10:35:33 -0400 <<On Thu, 28 Sep 1995 04:35:30 -0700, curt@emergent.com said: > on 1.1.5.1, when doing an > ifconfig ed0 140.174.2.174 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias > it works. > on 2.1 STABLE, it is broken in 2 ways: ifconfig complains, This is a pretty strong indication of what you're doing wrong. It looks very much like what you're trying to do is the following: ifconfig ed0 X.Y.Z.a netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig ed0 X.Y.Z.b netmask 255.255.255.0 This is not a valid combination of interface addresses. What you must do is: ifconfig ed0 X.Y.Z.a netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig ed0 X.Y.Z.b netmask 255.255.255.255 and then it will work. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
