It's a random name given to your secondary IP on eth0.

hi utm_kid,

the value *** behind the "eth:***" is only a lable that needs to be unique and its allowed to be nearly anything.
The most common systems use numbers for 1..x like eth0:1.

But it is also perfect ok to use somthing like "eth0:abcd"
We use this label to map it to a additional ip adress definition, so we know which definition it is.

i hope that was understandable.
regards
Gert
