After running ifconfig, this is what /sbin/ip address show dev eth1 comes back with:

Trying to create additional address on external nic so I can access my ADSL modem. The External NIC is using PPPoE to access the internet.

I create additional address, assign the ip 192.168.99.3, mask /24, and hit save. Then I enable the sub-interface.

However the nic always shows "down".

same for DHCP Interfaces...

Hi ReD-MaN, hi firewalker,

thanks for your input!

After checking the MiddleWare code, it became clear that you are suggesting new functionality rather than reporting a bug, so i submitted this as a feature request to our internal Mantis (#7131).  Here are three points to clarify:

 1. ReD-MaN is right that configuring additional addresses is not yet supported for dynamical interfaces.  If you configure an additional address e.g. for ppp0, the result is undefined.  It's no use implementing this new feature in a hurry, so this will not be done for 7.100.

 2. firewalker is right that the same applies to interfaces dynamically configured using DHCP.

 3. ReD-MaN's task of configuring his ADSL modem using a 192.168 address seems to be a wholly different beast.  You do not want to assign the 192.168 address to the ppp0 interface because that's the tunnel going *through* the modem to your provider.  Instead, you want to configure the 192.168 directly on the underlying eth interface (that's what you do indeed with the ifconfig command you cite in your posting).  Configuring an IP address on an interface which is at the same time used for PPPoE is also a suggestion of a new feature, but a different one... [;)]  In fact, this even looks slightly more complicated than no. 1) above.

Yours,
  Ingo
