IP alias
To configure IP aliases on AIX:
Use the ifconfig command to create an IP alias. To have the alias created when the system starts, add the ifconfig command to the /etc/rc.net script.
The following example creates an alias on the en1 network interface. The alias must be defined on the same subnet as the network interface.
# ifconfig en1 alias 9.37.207.29 netmask 255.255.255.0 upThe following example deletes the alias:
# ifconfig en1 delete 9.37.207.29
