On my FreeBSD 2.2.5 server I need to assign at least one more IP
address to the ethernet card (only one, not even a slot free for an
additional card). So I did
ifconfig ed1 inet 192.168.0.8 alias
ifconfig -a shows the additional address together with the already
assigned one (192.168.0.1) and from other stations, I can also access
it. However, on the server itself no route is created (netstat -nr) for
this new virtual interface, neither can the server access itself (ping,
telnet or anything) on this virtual address. Both addresses, .1 and .8
are on the same subnet.
Did I miss something or is this the way FreeBSD is supposed to behave?
I often do this kind of stuff on Solaris because there are not enough
sbus slots for the number of token ring interfaces required. On Solaris
the new virtual interface gets a name of its own (tr0 for the physical
interface, tr0:1, tr0:2, tr0:3 etc. for the added virtual ones) and
also the route entries are created accordingly.
