Assigning two IP addresses to one card
HP-UX 10.x
1. Use /usr/contrib/bin/ifalias command (available for HP-UX 10.x from patch PHNE_12492) 2. If the IP address is on the same subnet as original IP address ifalias interface action ipaddress e.g. ifalias lan0 add 141.228.160.3 3. If the new IP address is on a different subnet as original IP address ifalias interface action subnet_mask ipaddress e.g. ifalias lan0 addmask 255.255.254.0 141.228.92.9 Thanks to Sherwood Botsford for update on using ifalias for a different subnet
HP-UX 11.x
With HP-UX 11, ifalias has been dropped and the functionality included in the ifconfig command, in the format:
ifconfig lann:m address parameters
where n is the ppa number, e.g. 0 for device lan0 and m is the index number (lan0:0 would be same as lan0), e.g.
ifconfig lan0:1 145.245.12.5 255.255.0.0 up
Addresses may be in different subnets
