We've been experimenting with Tru64 5.1 PatchKit - T64V51AS0002.
In past versions to add multiple IP's to one machine we would modify
rc.config and reboot. But for some reason we are unable to do this on
this particular box. The only thing I can think of is that the process
has changed in 5.1, but I can't find anything in the docs about it.
We modified rc.config and added the IP addresses below:
HOSTNAME="my.hostname.com"
MAX_NETDEVS="11"
NETDEV_0="tu1"
NETDEV_1="tu1"
NETDEV_2="tu1"
NETDEV_3="tu1"
NETDEV_4="tu1"
NETDEV_5="tu1"
NETDEV_6="tu1"
NETDEV_7="tu1"
NETDEV_8="tu1"
NETDEV_9="tu1"
NETDEV_10="tu1"
IFCONFIG_0="192.168.1.7 netmask 255.255.255.0"
IFCONFIG_2="192.168.1.82 alias"
IFCONFIG_3="192.168.1.83 alias"
IFCONFIG_4="192.168.1.84 alias"
IFCONFIG_5="192.168.1.85 alias"
IFCONFIG_6="192.168.1.86 alias"
IFCONFIG_7="192.168.1.87 alias"
IFCONFIG_8="192.168.1.88 alias"
IFCONFIG_9="192.168.1.89 alias"
IFCONFIG_10="192.168.1.90 alias"
And than we export this same list as such:
export HOSTNAME
export NETDEV_0
export NETDEV_1
export NETDEV_2
export NETDEV_3
export NETDEV_4
export NETDEV_5
export NETDEV_6
export NETDEV_7
export NETDEV_8
export NETDEV_9
export NETDEV_10
export IFCONFIG_1
export IFCONFIG_2
export IFCONFIG_3
export IFCONFIG_4
export IFCONFIG_5
export IFCONFIG_6
export IFCONFIG_7
export IFCONFIG_8
export IFCONFIG_9
export IFCONFIG_10
But when the box boots it gives errors that it cannot configure these
aliases. Any ideas what we are doing wrong. These IP addresses are
behind our firewall and NAT'd to real IPs, but I can't imagine that is the
trouble.
Any help is appreciated.
