Multiple Loopback Interface

[kcwong13]

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out how to add multiple loopback (lo) interface, i'm trying to:

cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo:0

and rename the infor inside as:

DEVICE=lo:0
IPADDR=127.0.0.2
.....
......
......

After I'm rebooting my machine, and run ifconfig, int lo:0 is exists but originally I have 10 ethernet port (eth0 - eth9), after reboot only left eth0 and "loopback" interface I'm created just now. Anybody know that I've missed any step? or they way I'm using was wrong? Hope you all can help.

Cheers.

the problem with the eth0-eth9 interfaces may be unrelated to the loopback interface you are creating.

Check if the proper ifcfg scripts exist for those interfaces and that the cables are connected

Yes, I think so, but wondering the way I'm created loopback interface was it correct..!!??

Hi All,

Any idea whether we can create more than 1 loopback interface in Fedora 14?

Cheers
