salut,
We are using Alpha 3000/400 running du 40e and patch kit 2 installed.
We tried to use a second ip address on the same interface (ln0). The
second ip is on a different subnet with different subnet mask.
So we did :
ifconfig ln0 alias x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0
The primary address is y.y.y.y netmask 255.255.255.240
Using netstat -nia gives the next:
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts
Oerrs Coll
ln0 1500 <Link> 08:00:2b:33:5e:a9 11080 0 9941
0 6
ln0 1500 DLI none 11080 0 9941
0 6
ln0 1500 yyy.yy.yyy.32/28 yyy.yy.yyy.yy 11080 0 9941
0 6
224.0.0.1
ln0 1500 xxx.xx.xxx/24 xxx.xx.xxx.xx 11080 0 9941
0 6

lo0 4096 127/8 127.0.0.1 619 0 619
0 0
224.0.0.1
01:00:5e:00:00:01
Seems ok.
The problems:
1) Using traceroute
# traceroute -s xxx.xx.xxx.xxx www.whatever.com
traceroute: Incorrect source address xxx.xx.xxx.xxx
2) At our HP Openview Managment station an error starts to appeare stating
that the alpha machine has inconsistent subnet mask of */28 on interface
ln where it should be */24
By viewing the information produced about the object which relates to the
alliased ln interface we see that the subnet mask reported is */28.
Searching through the list archives we found some similar situtations but
none of them had a different ip subnet using different mask on the same
interface.
Any suggestions?
take care
