Hello Everyone,

When I set up an IP alias I enter the following:

ifconfig ed1 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.240 alias
route add -host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 127.0.0.1 0

This seems to work OK but after the first line it reports:

"ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists"

What does this mean and do I need to worry about it?

Also to automate this proceedure at startup, in which file should I make
the IP aliasing entries?

Thanks,


Kurt
