[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] multiple IP addresses

shari@GATEWAY.MITRE.ORG (Shari Galitzer) (04/29/91)

I am trying to get multiple GATEDs to run
on a single host to simulate multiple routers
on a single host.

My initial problem is getting multiple IP addresses 
on a single ethernet (qe0) port.  I've tried ifconfiging
2 times with different addresses and the host locks up.

Does anybody know if a single ethernet port can have
two addresses in the same family?  If so, how or if not,
at what point is the capability prohibited?

In addition, has anyone tried running multiple GATEDs
and is able to provide some helpful insight.

Thank you for your attention and I appreciate any
help you are able to provide.
