Copy etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file as /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
# cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
Open file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 using vi text editor:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
Find entry that read as follows:
DEVICE=eth0
Replace with:
DEVICE=eth0:0
Find entry that read as follows:
IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Replace it with your actual IP address:
IPADDR=192.168.1.7
At the end your file should like as follows:
DEVICE=eth0:0
IPADDR=192.168.1.7
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=eth0:0
Open file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and make sure file does not have a GATEWAY= entry:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Find the entry that read as follows:
GATEWAY=your-ip
Remove or comment it out by prefixing # (hash) :
# GATEWAY=192.168.1.254
Save the file. Add the GATEWAY= to your /etc/sysconfig/network:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network
