Hi all,

Â*

I am not really sure this is the correct newsletterÂ* forÂ* my question, if not please apologize me and suggest me a right newsletter, thanks.

Â*

My goal is to simulate more than one IP interface using just a physical interface, for do that I tried using this alias

Â*

Ifconfing ethX:1 <IP>

Â*

But when I try to send a packet over that interface I see the IP source the same as the original, and real,Â* Ethernet interface. Then I tried to use TAP interface but I was unable to “linkâ€� them with my physical one, I notice them can communicate
each others but can not ping (ping –I tap0Â* <ip real IF>) the original one.

It is still valid if I create a bridge with all them.

Â*

I would like avoid to install many Virtual Box as I need but what I want is exactly what it do: build a new virtual interface and bridge it with a real one in order to have more IP interface attached at one physical.

Â*

Any suggestion ?

Â*

Thanks in advance,

Pietro.

"ethX" is your real interface, yes?

It depends where you're trying to send it to.

Consider this addressing:

eth0 192.168.1.1
eth0:1 172.16.2.2

Then ping 172.16.2.4 will use 172.16.2.2 as source address, and ping
192.168.1.6 will use 192.168.1.1 as the source address.

More information about virtual interfaces can be found here:

That sounds logic because there is only "one" real interface handling the
traffic.

Mmm... I'm not sure to have properly understood your main goal here. Can
you please detail what's what you want to get?

Pietro,

Can you send us the output of "ifconfig" and "route -n"? Maybe this way
it would be easier for us understanding what you're trying to do.

Best,
