Adding Range of IPs to a Redhat/CENTOS Linux server
--------------------------------------------------------------
make ifcfg-eth0-range0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
[root@localhost network-scripts]# more ifcfg-eth0-range0
--------------------------------------------------------------
make ifcfg-eth0-range0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
[root@localhost network-scripts]# more ifcfg-eth0-range0
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR_START=10.10.10.101
IPADDR_END=10.10.10.121
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
CLONENUM_START=0
If you have another range of ips:
make another file called; ifcfg-eth0-range1
then ifcfg-eth0-range2, etc..
then do: CLONENUM_START=#
where # = the number of ips already added to the box + 1.
example, if you have 10 ips in range0, then colonenum =11
ie, the next set of alias ips should start at that range (eth0:11)
Then run : service network restart
