I can not assign aliases on any ppp interface: # ifconfig cx0 cx0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet xxx.xx.xx.182 --> xxx.xx.xx.181 netmask 0xfffffffc # ifconfig cx0 alias xxx.xx.xx.179 netmask 0xffffffff xxx.xx.xx.181 ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): File exists I tried ppp0 for the simple test and got same results on several machines with 4.6-STABLE: # ifconfig ppp0 ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 # ifconfig ppp0 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xfffffff0 10.0.0.1 # ifconfig ppp0 alias 10.0.0.3 netmask 0xffffffff 10.0.0.1 ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): File exists Before upgrade I've used 4.5-STABLE, cvsup'ed at 2002-02-15.
