It doesn't matter, one could create a new /etc/hostname.hme0:1 or put addif to an existing /etc/hostname.hme0 ... it should work both ways but there is a line in /etc/init.d/network (near the end of it): /sbin/ifconfig -adD4 auto-revarp netmask + broadcast + up ...which silently brings up all...

Hmm, it doesn't work. I tried adding: name addif name_vip netmask + broadcast + ...to my /etc/hostname.hme0 and it brings up both hme0 and hme0:1. I tried even with down parameter which had no effect. Am I missing something?

That's what I'm intending to do if there's really no way via default /etc/init.d/network and /etc/hostname.*. Regards, B

Thanks for the reply Franz, My intention is to have 2 machines with same floating VIP address, and it has to be plumbed on both machines during boot because there are some apps being started also at boot time and are depending on this VIP address. I can bring UP VIP afterwards on one of those...

Hi, I'm a first-timer here and would like to ask you guys a question. Is it possible to set virtual network device so that it is only plumbed and set but not UP (by ordinary means like /etc/hostname.*) after/across reboots. Regards, B
