Can 1 NIC have 2 IP addresses ?

[coupleojars]

Good morning all,

I've been told by an unreliable source that IBM servers can now have 1 NIC that uses 2 IP adresses. Can anyone tell me if there's any truth in this and if so can they point me to a white paper somewhere for more info ? I've looked on the IBM website but can't find any details.

Many Thanks,
Jars

This is a fairly common capability even of a client OS.
Under your network connection, Internet Protocol TCP/IP, Properties, Advanced, IP Settings tab, do you not have the ability to Add an IP address to your current adapter?
