Synopsis: Cannot create alias IP address
State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: simon
State-Changed-When: Thu Jul 1 15:21:43 GMT 2004
State-Changed-Why:
Close the PR since this is a configuration error:
>From ifconfig(8):
alias Establish an additional network address for this interface. This
is sometimes useful when changing network numbers, and one wishes
to accept packets addressed to the old interface. If the address
is on the same subnet as the first network address for this
interface, a non-conflicting netmask must be given. Usually
0xffffffff is most appropriate.
In short, change netmask 255.255.255.0 to netmask 255.255.255.255. It
is better to use the freebsd-questions mailing list for these kind of
configuration problems.
