Hi,

Suppose we have two aliases of the same ethernet card:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1
ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.1

Is it possible to add eth0:1 to a bridge, not adding its "physical parent" eth0?

Sorry if this was answered before.

Thanks.

Yes this is allowed. Along with eth0.10:1 which is a VLAN tagged
interface with an alias.

You can do it, you won't get anything usable.
What are you trying to. Simple bridging is at level 2 not level 3 (IP).
