Subject: problems with ifconfig aliases To: freebsd-net@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, Originally, I had created some aliases with the following command: # ifconfig dc0 alias 192.168.1.111 255.255.255.255 # ifconfig dc0 alias 192.168.1.112 255.255.255.255 ... This worked fine.. i was able to use the aliases for various projects I was playing with. When I was done, I took the aliases out: # ifconfig dc0 -alias 192.168.1.111 255.255.255.255 ... Now, whever I try re-creating those aliases (or any different ones for that matter) I get: # ifconfig dc0 alias 192.168.1.111 255.255.255.255 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists # ifconfig dc0 alias 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 <-- never used before ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists What happened here? What did I do wrong? How can I fix it? Any help is appreciated Thanks, Joe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
