Secureplatform: Add alias interface on nodes and management

[motociclante]

Hi,

I've a cluster based on secureplatform NGX R65 where I need to add one network to an already used interface.

I was focused on using alias on that interface.

I've found the procedure about "how to add alias" on the single node on SecureKnowledge but, when I open the management to configure the topology I can't find the brand new network.
So, followiong a hint from my collegue I've tryed to add the network bu hand starting from choosing the name of the interface.

I've chose the alias name, eth2:1 but the management software detect it as inconsistent name and didn't alloe me to complete the operation.

Did I have to chose the same base name of the phisical interface (eth2 for nw A and eth2 for nw B)?

Thanks to everybody.

doesn't works, this: interface name already used.

In the Interface ID, use an underscore _ instead of a colon : .

This used to be the solution for this ages ago, I haven't tried it in years though.

Thaks, Thorpuse, seems to works.

I'll let you know.
