Hi, If I want to make on interface talk to more than one subnet how should I do the alias. I already have the interface working with an IP address of 203.17.189.1 and a netmask of 255.255.255.128. I now want the same interface to handle traffic on a subnet with the network address os 203.22.108.0 and a netmask of 255.255.255.192. Which of the following 2 methods should I use to set this alias up? 1) ifconfig de0 203.22.108.1 netmask 255.255.255.192 alias or 2) ifconfig de0 203.22.108.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias route add -net 203.22.108.0 -netmask 255.255.255.192 203.22.108.1 It seems the seconds gets rid of the arplookup: host not on local network errors, but is this the way to do the aliases or have I got it totally wrong? many thanks Gavin -- []-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------[] | Gavin Cameron | Ormond College | | Ph : +61 3 9344 1201 | The University of Melbourne | | Fax : +61 3 9344 1111 | Parkville, Victoria | | Email : gavin@ormond.unimelb.edu.au | Australia, 3053 | []-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------[]
