Add alias IP addresses on NIC
Add an ethX:X interface definition to /etc/network/interfaces like so:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 10.0.1.0 broadcast 10.0.1.255 dns-nameservers 10.0.1.10 10.0.2.10 post-up route add -host 172.16.31.31 gw 10.0.1.252 auto eth0:1 iface eth0:1 inet static address 10.0.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.128
The example also includes a specific host-route in the 'post-up' line.
Now bring both interface online separately:
sudo ifdown eth0 sudo ifup eth0 sudo ifdown eth0:1 sudo ifup eth0:1
