1. Change the boot protocol from “dhcp” to “static” on eth0. If you are already using a static binding, you can skip this step. Otherwise, follow these directions:
   

   • Open /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 in a text editor.
   • Change BOOTPROTO=dhcp to BOOTPROTO=static.
   • Add these lines at the end of the file. Substitute “[mainip]“, “[netmask]“, and “[gateway]” with the values from the “IPv4” tab on your Vultr control panel.
     
     IPADDR=[mainip] NETMASK=[netmask] GATEWAY=[gateway]

     1 2 3 4

     IPADDR=[mainip]    NETMASK=[netmask]    GATEWAY=[gateway]

   • Run ifup eth0.

2. Create the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1.
3. Populate the file with the following contents:
   
   DEVICE=eth0:1 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=1.2.3.5 ONBOOT=yes

   1 2 3 4 5

   DEVICE=eth0:1 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=1.2.3.5 ONBOOT=yes

4. Activate the alias with the following command:
   
   ifup eth0:1

   1 2	ifup eth0:1

Ubuntu 12.04

1. Add the following lines in /etc/network/interfaces:
   
   auto eth0:0 iface eth0:0 inet static address 1.2.3.5 netmask 255.255.255.0

   1 2 3 4 5

   auto eth0:0 iface eth0:0 inet static address 1.2.3.5 netmask 255.255.255.0

2. Activate the alias with the following command:
   
   ifup eth0:0

   1 2	ifup eth0:0

FreeBSD 10

1. Add the following lines in /etc/rc.conf:
   
   ifconfig_vtnet0_alias0="1.2.3.5 netmask 255.255.255.0"

   1 2	ifconfig_vtnet0_alias0="1.2.3.5 netmask 255.255.255.0"

2. Run the following command to restart networking:
   
   /etc/rc.d/netif restart && /etc/rc.d/routing restart

   1 2	/etc/rc.d/netif restart && /etc/rc.d/routing restart
