How do I set up a virtual interface in Ubuntu Server?

    The presence of "auto eth1:1" in /etc/network/interfaces brings up this error when networking starts: "Ignoring unknown interface eth1:1=eth1:1"

    The network file is:

    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    # LAN
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.10.1
    network 192.168.10.0
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    broadcast 192.168.10.255

    # Internet and virtual interface
    auto eth1 eth0:1
    iface eth1 inet static
    address 192.168.10.2
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.10.0
    gateway 192.168.10.198
    broadcast 192.168.10.255

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    all enrtys in virtual interface must have eth1:1:


    auto eth1:1
    iface eth1:1 inet static
    address 192.168.10.2
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.10.0
    gateway 192.168.10.198
    broadcast 192.168.10.255
