How do,
I'm trying to use ``ifconfig'' to add a second IP address to one of my
interfaces.
ep0 is a 3C509 Combo (revision b) board, that normally has the IP
address x.y.z.50 assigned to it. It's temporarily taking over the duties
of a mailhost, so I'm aliasing the mailhosts IP address (x.y.z.10) to
it.
# ifconfig ep0 inet x.y.z.10 alias
Seems to do this. But it spits out the error
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists
The alias seems to work, as Macs around the network can still pick up
their mail at the .10 address. But I'm a little concerned about the
error.
