The OP's asking about eth0.1 NOT eth0:1. They're both virtual. The first is an interface whose broadcast domain is defined and limited by the "1" and the second is an alias that allows you to assign extra ip addresses to an interface. The alias concept and notation is the result of the old ioctl networking infrastucture. In the new netlink networking infrastructure, you can assign more than one address to ethX (but you can still label the extra address/addresses with :I). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
