Need help adding additional IPs to my server and ISPconfig

Hi everyone.
I have a root server with Hetzner that I set up following the perfect server setup (Debian Lenny) HowTo here on HowtoForge.
Now I have received 6 additional IPs that I would like to use.

But I'm really not sure what I need to do, to get this to work. Do I just enter the IP numbers in ISPconfig -> Management -> System Config -> Settings -> IP List ?
It sounds a little too easy.

 

This works only if $go_info["server"]["network_config"] is set to 1 in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php. But I suggest that you make your changes in /etc/network/interfaces and add virtual network cards (e.g. eth0:0, eth0:1, etc.).

 

Ok cool, thanks! I'll try this out when I get home. I take it when I add the virtual network cards it's it's the same "modus operandi" as with the eth0 configuration in the perfect setup debian lenny HowTo right?
I've never done this before... I can't wait to try.

 

OK I have a problem... Here's what I put inside my /etc/network/interfaces file:

Code:

# Loopback device:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# device: eth0
auto  eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address   111.111.111.111
  broadcast 222.222.222.222
  netmask   255.255.255.224
  gateway   222.333.222.333

# device: eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
  address   55.55.55.192
  broadcast 55.55.55.199
  netmask   255.255.255.248
  gateway   222.333.222.333
  
# device: eth0:1
  address   55.55.55.193
  broadcast 55.55.55.199
  netmask   255.255.255.248
  gateway   222.333.222.333
  
# device: eth0:2
  address   55.55.55.194
  broadcast 55.55.55.199
  netmask   255.255.255.248
  gateway   222.333.222.333
  
# device: eth0:3
  address   55.55.55.195
  broadcast 55.55.55.199
  netmask   255.255.255.248
  gateway   222.333.222.333
  
# device: eth0:4
  address   55.55.55.196
  broadcast 55.55.55.199
  netmask   255.255.255.248
  gateway   222.333.222.333
  
# device: eth0:5
  address   55.55.55.197
  broadcast 55.55.55.199
  netmask   255.255.255.248
  gateway   222.333.222.333
  
# device: eth0:6
  address   55.55.55.198
  broadcast 55.55.55.199
  netmask   255.255.255.248
  gateway   222.333.222.333
  
# default route to access subnet
up route add -net XX.XXX.XX.XXX netmask 255.255.255.224 gw XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX eth0

When I try to restart the network, here is what I get:

Code:

# /etc/init.d/networking restart
Reconfiguring network interfaces.../etc/network/interfaces:22: duplicate option
ifdown: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
/etc/network/interfaces:22: duplicate option
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
failed.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

Its all those gateways... you only need 1 default gateway... just take 'em off the extra IPs

 

Thanks!
I'm afraid it didn't help though.

Code:

server1:~# /etc/init.d/networking restart
Reconfiguring network interfaces.../etc/network/interfaces:22: duplicate option
ifdown: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
/etc/network/interfaces:22: duplicate option
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
failed.

 

You need an

Code:

iface eth0:x inet static

line for each virtual network card, not just for the first one.

 

Awesome thanks! So now I should be able to use the IP addresses in ISPconfig right? I entered them in ISPconfig -> Management -> System Config -> Settings -> IP List

 

Yes, that's right.
