Virtual Interfaces (vifs)

This is how to setup a virtual interface on Slackware:

1. as root, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
2. configure vifs in the following fashion:
   

   ## Virtual Interfaces
   # eth0:1 vif
   IFNAME[4]="eth0:1"
   IPADDR[4]="192.168.1.2"
   NETMASK[4]="255.255.255.0"
   USE_DHCP[4]="no"
   DHCP_HOSTNAME[4]=""
   
   # eth0:2 vif
   IFNAME[5]="eth0:2"
   IPADDR[5]="192.168.1.3"
   NETMASK[5]="255.255.255.0"
   USE_DHCP[5]="no"
   DHCP_HOSTNAME[5]=""

3. reboot, restart rc.inet1, or manually restart each vif
