Software Only Multiple IP Support Setup - HP Alphas
Log in as superuser and edit the /etc/rc.config file as follows:
- Set NUM_NETCONFIG="<total number of IP addresses>". For example:
NUM_NETCONFIG="4" - For each alternative IP address that your organization will use for Web Access Management multiple IP routing, there must be a NETDEV_<number>= and an IFCONFIG_<number>= line. For example:
NUM_NETCONFIG="4"
NETDEV_0="tu0"
NETDEV_1="tu0"
NETDEV_2="tu0"
NETDEV_3="tu0"
IFCONFIG_0="12.34.56.71 netmask 255.255.255.0"
IFCONFIG_1="12.34.56.72 netmask 255.255.255.0"
IFCONFIG_2="12.34.56.73 netmask 255.255.255.0"
IFCONFIG_3="12.34.56.74 netmask 255.255.255.0"NOTES
- Each IP address must be within the same subset (e.g., 12.34.56.7 in the example above).
- The order of the IFCONFIG_<number> lines is specific, depending on OS version.
- Alpha 4.0D and 4.0F require that the main system IP be the first IFCONFIG_<number> entry (e.g., IFCONFIG_0=12.34.56.71)
- Alpha 5.1A requires that the main system IP be the last IFCONFIG_<number> entry (e.g., IFCONFIG_8=12.34.56.71 for 9 entries).
- The entry for the NETDEV_<number>= is the name of the device. For example, the device name might be "tu0".
- Save and quit.
- Make the changes active by entering the following command on the command line: /usr/sbin/rcinet restart
To test the setup, telnet to each IP address entered in the /etc/rc.config file.
