iproute2

[Kevin Scoffield]

In your ifcfg-eth0 file you can add a new device like
DEVICE=eth0:1
IPADDR=192.168.0.1

Or you can use Webmin to add it thru there as an alias
I personally like webmin for adding and modifying configs. Mainly cause I
don’t know what I am doing with most of them.

> I would like to use a network card with 2 IP addresses assigned like:
> ip addr add 10.0.2.1 dev eth0
> ip addr add 192.168.2.1 dev eth0
> How do I do it with the fedora network scripts in /etc/sysconfig/net*? 
> Or should I use a custom init script?

>            ip addr add xxx.yyy.zzz.$i/27 brd xxx.yyy.zzz.www dev eth0
>label eth0
>         done
>    fi

>(FC1, script line 362ff.)

>For you no loop is needed:

>    if [ ${DEVICE} = "eth0" ]; then
>	ip addr add 192.168.2.1 dev eth0
>    fi
