I have an interface like: # ifconfig fxp0 fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet x.y.z.16 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast x.y.z.255 inet6 fe80::2b0:d0ff:feea:7442%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:b0:d0:ea:74:42 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active The other interface (fxp1) is unused. Then I try to set an IP alias, same interface, same network, another IP address, the end is .250 instead of .16. # ifconfig fxp0 x.y.z.250 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast x.y.z.255 alias ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists Why does this command fails?
