TIPS Sub Interface

[spr41178]

Good afternoon,

On the Raspberry Pi is it possible to activate sub interfaces?

i.e i want on eth0 to be able to have and eth0:1 with a different ip that is pingable and accessible like the original one (eth0)

edit - i have achieved it with webmin as a virtual interface but where does it add the entry so i can edit it manually?

Thanks in advance

for Debian it should be in /etc/network/interfaces(.d/*)

Funny enough it is not in there.
All i have is what i added as a static ip in dhcpcd.conf for wlan and eth0 despite the fact that webmin has activated a wlan0:1 sub interface which shows in ifconfig i cant seem to find it in the asterisk files.

It's not an asterisk think, it's an OS thing, it's all in here

Appreciate the answer, will read everything carefully and implement.

Thank you, have a good day

Ok so i added the following to the /etc/network/interfaces file

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.5.247
netmask 255.255.255.0

auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.5.250
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.5.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.5.1
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

auto wlan0:1
allow-hotplug wlan0:1
iface wlan0:1 inet static
address 192.168.5.246
netmask 255.255.255.0

After that i disabled the dhcpcd service and it works fine.

One hickup is that the openvpn got messed up.
I followed originally the github procedure to set it up and it worked but after i added the lines
in the /interfaces file it is not working.

ifconfig shows it as active tun0 10.8.0.1 but missing from webmin (no tun0).

I use

openvpn-install/openvpn-install.sh at master · angristan/openvpn-install

Set up your own OpenVPN server on Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, Arch Linux and more - angristan/openvpn-install

github.com

which sets op the tunnel

I don't use webmin though

Pretty sure this is what i have set it up to begin with.

I will try to remove it and re-install it then now that i am using the /interfaces method and see if it comes up.

Thank you

ip add

will show better than webmin

Don't forget to make use of the Incredible Ticky Wicki all the openVPN tutorials are in there
