I was configuring the secondary IP address for my server , before doing any thing I always had a backup of the original running config Files so i had a backup of rc.conf . I added the secondary IP address to the rc.conf ,and gave a reboot for the secondary IP address to get activated . On reboot I was not able to connect the machine thru SSH as it used to before the configuration changes were made. Looking at this i went to my FreeBSD box physicaly and logged in to the root account , I then thought of replacing the original rc.conf as i was not able to figure out any problem .So did I . Then gave a reboot for the changes . Then tried to ping the machine from another machine on the same network ,but was not able to ping or SSH it . So i went back to the machine physically logged in and tried to ping other machines in the network,I was not able to ping . then I checked pinging the loopback address ,that too i was not able to ping. It seems that my IP address is not binding to the NIC card . Is there any solution for this .
