Ubuntu 14 / 16
Ubuntu works with a single network configuration file. You can find the file at /etc/network/interfaces. Now we will edit the configuration file, we recommend to use ‘nano’ to edit the file:
| nano /etc/network/interfaces |
Copy the text at eth0:1 and edit the bold text that fits your situation:
| # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface # The primary network interface auto eth0:1 |
When you exit the text editor you can apply the changes by using the following command:
| ifup eth0:1 |
Should you want to add more static addresses you can follow the logic by repeating the steps above and use eth0:2 instead.
If you are unsure if your configuration is correct feel free to contact us here.
