—
interface aliases file
The ifaliases
file specifies the
additional addresses (aliases) that each interface has.
ifaliases
is processed by
/etc/rc.d/network at system boot time.
Each line of the file is of the form:
The address is a network address of the alias. This must be a number, or must be in /etc/hosts, since the nameserver is not running at this point.
The interface is the network interface the alias will be configured on.
The netmask is the netmask of the alias' network address. Although this is optional, omitting the netmask is discouraged. Omission results in the use of the classful netmask associated with address.
/etc/ifaliases, /etc/rc.d/network
The ifaliases
file appeared in
NetBSD 1.2.
ifaliases
assumes IPv4, and does not
support other protocol families. Please check
rc.conf(5) for alternatives
like /etc/ifconfig.xxN.
