2.4. Alias and Clone Files
Two lesser-used types of interface configuration files are alias and clone files.
Alias interface configuration files, which are used to bind multiple addresses to a single
interface, use the
ifcfg-<if-name>:<alias-value>
For example, an
ifcfg-eth0:0
IP address of 10.0.0.2, serving as an alias of an Ethernet interface already configured to receive
its IP information via DHCP in
dynamic IP address, but the same physical network card can receive request via the fixed,
10.0.0.2 IP address.
Caution
Alias interfaces do not support DHCP.
A clone interface configuration file should use the following naming convention:
ifcfg-<if-name>-<clone-name>

standard DHCP Ethernet interface called
