Configuring aliases for an interface:

An alias is an alternative IP address for an interface. An alias can be useful when
you are changing the IP address of an interface to a new address, but also want to
keep accepting packets addressed to the old IP address.
There are two alias options available for the ifconfig command:
◆ Alias—establishes an alternative IP address for an interface.
◆ -alias—removes an alternative IP address (alias) for an interface

Set IP Address Using Alias:

Ifconfig e0 alias 172.28.50.30 netmask 255.255.255.0

Remove Ip Address using Alias:

Ifconfig e0 -alias 172.28.50.30

Changing the status with ifconfig

Ifconfig interface {up|down}

Ifconfig -a ◆ Interface status (up or down)
