ip addr add

ip addr add

[Jason A. Ramsey]

I'm working with a RH7.3 box that has iproute2 installed. I am trying to
configure a slew of virtual interfaces on the server to accommodate
ip-based virtual hosting with Apache. I was led to believe that it was
possible to provision a group of addresses with a single command that
would cause the host to listen on all those addresses. I would like to
configure addresses 172.20.0.128-172.20.0.254 on the box without having
to manually specify every address. Is this possible? Thanks.

If you don't mind adding also IP 172.20.0.255, so that you can use a
netmask 255.255.255.128, you can use the following:

ip route add local 172.20.0.128/25 dev eth0

(replacing "eth0" with your network interface, of course).
