IP aliasing

IP aliasing

[Ravi Kumar Munnangi]

I want to give more than one IP addresses to my NIC.
For this we have to enable the feature of IP alias
when configuring the kernel and recompile it.
Is there any way to check if the option is already
checked or not?
My next question is,
  After reconfiguring and recompiling, how can I give
IP addresses(aliases) to NIC?
  please tell me the commands to be used.

Hi,

A little off-topic, but...

you don't have to enable ip alias. you can simply use
(1) ifconfig or (2) iproute2 tool.

iproute2's ip command is more convenient.

464  # ip link set dev $DEV up
465  # ip addr add dev $DEV w.x.y.z/24
466  # ip addr add dev $DEV p.q.r.s/16
467  # ip route add $DESTINATION via $GATEWAY src p.q.r.s

Re: IP aliasing

Hi Ravi,

       Load the IP Alias module (you can skip this step if you compiled 
the module into the kernel):

/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ipv4/ip_alias.o




Setup the loopback, eth0, and all the IP addresses beginning with the 
main IP address for the eth0 interface:

for example:

/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 172.16.3.1
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 172.16.3.10
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 172.16.3.100



Setup the routes. First route the loopback, then the net, and finally, 
the various IP addresses starting with the default (originally 
allocated) one:

/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0
/sbin/route add -net 172.16.3.0 dev eth0
/sbin/route add -host 172.16.3.1 dev eth0
/sbin/route add -host 172.16.3.10 dev eth0:0
/sbin/route add -host 172.16.3.100 dev eth0:1
/sbin/route add default gw 172.16.3.200


Enjoy,
Ravi

ip aliasing

[John Black]

i'm trying to setup my firewall to do ip aliasing.  i have two private ip 
address that i would like aliased.

if i run the command:
ifconfig eth0:0 10.10.10.11 (public address) netmask 255.255.255.0

then in my firewall script i have:
    iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 192.168.180.181 -i eth0 \
                -j DNAT --to-destination 10.10.10.11

is this right?  since eth0 is the address connecting the firewall to the 
internet?

thanks
john

IP Aliasing

[Michael Montero]

I'm trying to set up 2 IP aliases on my firewall box.  It's Redhat 7.2.  I
believe I have the 2 alias (eth0:0 and eth0:1) set up properly.  Is there
anything in particular I need to do with iptables to activate these 2
interfaces?  I've attempted to execute rules with the interface specified
as eth0:0 and iptables does not seem to like that.  Anyone have any docs I
can read about proper IP aliasing under Redhat and what I need to do for
iptables?

Thanks!

I would try '-i eth0' for all you aliases and use '-i/-o address[/mask]'
if you refer to a particular subnet. Reasoning: the interface is being
aliased and iptables sees them all as eth0.

Let me know if this works ;^) I'll be trying it shortly.
