IP aliasing / multiple IP's on one interface

[rbr28]

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing with trying to setup two IP addresses on one interface? I've done this on Redhat before with no problem, but I can't seem to get it working on Gentoo. I've tried using different syntax but my current /etc/conf.d/net is below. I followed the net.example file that is installed in the same location, but when I restart eth0 I only get eth0, no eth0:0.

Also want to add that if I do something like dhcpcd eth0:0 , the aliased interface does come up.

Thanks,
Vern

/etc/conf.d/net

config_eth0=(
"192.168.x.x/24"
"192.168.x.x/24"
)
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.1.1"
dns_servers_eth0="192.168.1.1"

Please provide a reference to the example you used. It is outdated and needs to be fixed. Baselayout 1 used Bash arrays, but Baselayout 2 uses embedded newlines. Also, interface aliases are not an expected result. They were a workaround for ifconfig's inability to handle multiple addresses on one interface. Both the kernel and iproute2 handle this correctly.

Assuming you're using a recent baselayout ( ~ sys-apps/baselayout-2.2), then your /etc/conf.d/net should be
