Hi everyone!

Some time ago I already asked for a possibility to setup the network with additional IPs assigned to an eth device without using aliased devices. As the network scripts now for a long period uses iproute2 to setup devices instead of the older ifconfig it would be easier to address further IPs to a device than by aliasing. In addition iptables can't handle aliased device names.

Did anyone made already efforts to develop scripts to handle this issue? Otherwise I would start by my own to integrate shell scripts into the Redhat/Fedora network scripts to assign additional IPs - as a list or as just a bunch of IPs - to an existing eth device.
