Machine has interface ethX<br />
according to documentation there is script if-up-aliases ethX which sets up interface aliases, according to configuration in file ifcfg-ethX-rangeY<br />
It works without any problems.<br />
<br />
But when You unplug interface ( for example You change switch port for which server is connected), and then plug it again, interface starts up, while aliases - do not. <br />
<br />
Script - ifup-aliases is not requested by any of the scripts in /etc/syscponfig/network-scripts. <br />
<br />
According to documentation there is another way to configure aliases ( by creating a file ifcfg-ethX:N where N is the number of the alias), but when creating many aliases ( 40?) this is not very efficient way. <br />
<br />
ifup-aliases is correctly used during reboot of the machine.
