IP Address Aliasing

Here are two example on how to add an IP address alias to your machine.

• Select Local Area Connections from the Start | Network and Dial-up Connections menu.
• Select Properties
• Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
• Select Properties
• Select Advanced...
• In the IP Addresses table select Add
• Type in an IP address on this network 192.168.254. (e.g. 192.168.254.115)
• Type in the Subnet mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0)

Define IP Address Alias on Red Hat Linux

For a class C network, from the command line type:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 193.168.254.115 netmask 255.255.255.0

This is a non-permanent change. The alias will be removed on the next restart or reboot of your machine.
