Hi,

I hope this may help you. i am not sure whether it is correct or not

Add Ip address CentOS/RedHat/Fedora Linux

------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------
CentOS/RedHat/Fedora Linux:
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------
To add IPs in LINUX you need to create a new file per each IP in
# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
directory. You will find in this directory file with a name ifcfg-eth0 or very similar.
# ls ifcfg-*
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------
Open it in editor, you will easily recognize the first IP of your computer and figure out file format.
Now copy this file:
# cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:0

Now edit your new file: (Pico is for wussies!)
# vi ifcfg-eth0:0
you need to change the DEVICE & the original IP to a second IP.

Next, edit icfg-eth0:0 and change the DEVICE line to be:
DEVICE=eth0:0

& change the IPADDR line to the new IP:
IPADDR=70.**.**.***

Finally if you want it to start up with the cimputer just make sure ONBOOT is set to yes.
ONBOOT=yes

Once finished - Save the edited file.
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------

To add a third IP:
# cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:1
Again edit it to change the first IP to a third IP. Now you have three similar files in directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ :
ifcfg-eth0
ifcfg-eth0:0
ifcfg-eth0:1

Please notice filename format: IT IS MANDATORY! Each of these files will provide IP information for a network initializing script.
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------

To activate new IPs you can reboot the computer.
Restart the network config activate new IPs by running one of the following scripts below:
Option 1: (Start each ip individually)
# ./ifup eth0:0
Option2: (Restart the entire network)
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network -reload
With regards,
Harrison

With regards,
Harrison

Hi,

1. What do you use: venet or veth?
- if venet: why don't you use "vzctl set VE_ID --ipadd/--ipdel IP"
- if veth: "ifconfig" or "ip" utility inside VE.
2. What does it mean "main ip address"?
