Hi,

I have an interface (eth0) with IP addr. 10.215.147.110/16 and an alias IP address 10.215.246.110/16 and I'm doing test pings from it to a destination host.

ping -I eth0 <dest_host> works fine and it's using the source IP address 10.215.147.110.

How can I ping from eth0 but use the alias IP address as source?
ping -I eth0:1 <dest_host> doesn't seem to do the job.

I'd like to ping from 10.215.246.110 to <dest_host>

Thanks,

Vieri

[EDIT] using nmap -S 10.215.246.110 but I'd rather like to know if there's another way.
