Hello.
I’m trying to find a way to add an aliases to RED interface. Unfortunately information in wiki (https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/network/aliases) seems to be outdated: there are no “Aliases” menu item in “Network” tab…
How could I add aliases then?
The wiki is not outdated!
“First, use the setup program on the console to configure your Red interface with a static IP address if …”
This option is only enabled if red is configured “static”.

Oh, I see, sorry. Thanks a lot!
No - this is possible. See here: local:public:ipfire_ipalias [Exabyte Systems Wiki]

@mhgschmidt First, welcome to the community.
This is an interesting approach.
It uses the special case of obtaining a fixed ( static ) IP network when requesting internet access. Similiar to our internal ‘fixed leases’ concept.
Do you have experiences for PPP and DHCP WAN connections?
Maybe we could realize this as a feature in IPFire. Don’t know which parts of IPFire are made for one WAN IP only, if the config isn’t static.

Hi Bernhard,
thanks for the welcome 
Do you have experiences for PPP and DHCP WAN connections?
Yes - i have experience in this area. I’m currently running 2 ipfire boxes with 6 additional ip addresses on each box (using the described hack).
I would love to see this as a feature in production!
best regards,
Michael
