Description Alexander Wigen 2007-02-02 06:04:27 UTC 
I believe the /etc/conf/net configuration directive alias_ethX should also support bridges.

alias_eth0=("192.168.1.1") # This works
alias_br0=("192.168.1.1") # This does not work



Reproducible: Always

alias_ethx config directive has been deprecated for some time. Just add extra ipv4 addresses via the config_ethx command.

See /etc/conf.d/net.example for details.
Comment 2 Alexander Wigen 2007-02-02 08:19:56 UTC 
Oh yes, I did also try:

config_br0( "192.168.1.1/24",
            "192.168.2.1/24" )

But this does not bring up an alias for the bridge
Comment 3 Roy Marples (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-02 08:38:21 UTC 
Was there an error?
Can you see the addresses using the command "ip a" ?
Comment 4 Alexander Wigen 2007-02-02 10:50:18 UTC 
Sorry, my fault, this does work
