Hi, experts.

I wonder if I could ask you a question.
I use IBM/T30 PC, which is installed VMware with FreeBSD 4.8 running.

I tried to make sub-interface of lnc0, which is virual interface of FreeBSD
on VMware, but I did not know how to creat it though I looked
around tons of web-site.

If you know how to create sub interface like solaris/Linux,
could you please show me?

Thank you

Haruki

Sub interfaces? Things don't work that way with FreeBSD.
If you want aliases, it is perfectly normal for a FreeBSD interface to
have more than one ip address associated. So you can just add them:

# ifconfig lnc0 add a.dd.re.ss/netmask

Note that for an alias inside a subnet that is already represented
on the machine you use netmask 32 (255.255.255.255) instead.

Just "add another network card" in VMWare. Go into the virtual machine settings and create another card.

This will let you have two separate interfaces in the virtual machine.

That's what I had to do.

Later.
