Hello I am very confused about second ip routed on a dedicated server a on the last 2-3 datacenters that i got a dedicated server i just ask for a second ip routed on my server and they just add it without accessing my server and i was able to ping it and use it as ns2. I got one server a few days ago from online.net and i got 1 ip and i ask for a second ip routed on my server and they told me to get one failover ip and add it on my server from the client panel. I did it but i was not able to ping or use that ip so i contact them and they told me to create a file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 Code (markup): as i did and i add all the info there... Then when i try to run ifup eth0:0 or service network restart i got this: eth0:0 is not present, initialization will be delayed Code (markup): Then i just check on the path /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and no eth0 file is there... and my main server ip was on a file named em1... Any ideas how can i fix this so i can ping that ip? if i run ifconfig i can see the em1 only interface that is working using main sever ip and lo ... Thank you
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1 DEVICE=em1 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX NETMASK=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX BROADCAST=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX GATEWAY=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1:0 DEVICE=em1:0 BOOTPROTO=none ONPARENT=yes IPADDR=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX NETMASK=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX BROADCAST=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Adjust those to your network specs, then do: /etc/init.d/network restart
