Machine with multiple IP addresses

[Carnie]

Hello,
In my business, there are several machines with multiple addresses applications and when I asked I was told that these machines have multiple IP addresses.
1. I like to know if there is a way to know all the addresses applications and / or ip of a machine.
2. The machine did more physical names (I did not understood this)
If you have any docs on this, those can help me. Is this possible? if yes then how? Any explanation will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
Take a look at the side of the IP aliasing. A machine can have only one network card, but several IP aliases.
1) You get the list with:

ifconfig-a

2) I do not understand the term "natural names".

Hi
I think this command does not give any thing informative.

ifconfig-a

You must type the following

ip addr show

This will give you physical names, I mean the dns names? Hope this will help you. Any more problem do post back.

Hi
I think you have not checked the commands output, please issue the command verify the output.

ifconfig-a can not give any

It gives the alias IP interfaces as well as up & down.

ip addr show

This is out of my scope. Add what man?

Hey
Thank you guys!
I will definitely would like to try these command, but I am not sure I have the administrator privileges to run the commands.

ip addr show
This will give you physical names, I mean the dns names?

Even I have not tried this command, but I am really excited to see the physical address.

Hi

ip addr show
This is out of my scope. Add what man?

If you want to see, then somebody or something has set an alias with the command ip

ip addr add 192.168.30.07  dev eth0

And then you do

ifconfig-a
ip addr show

And you'll see the correct output. This is not a virtual card in ethx rather it is an alias.
