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.
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.
