Welcome Chrisp,

So, ignoring V-LAN and just thinking plain network, if you already have a wire from your network card to the switch, then you can put down another IP address on the same card, however if there is no route then you may be stuck.

The same is true with a VLAN, but there may be more rules in play. Do your network support team think it should be okay? Have they given you a new address/mask/gateway combination to define the alias?

Can you show us the output from:-
Code:
ifconfig -a
netstat -rn
lsdev -Cc adapter

... so we can get more of an idea.


Thanks, in advance,
Robin

Do you not have a second network card?

slattach

SLATTACH(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       SLATTACH(8)

NAME

       slattach - attach serial lines as network interfaces

SYOPNSIS

       slattach ttyname [ baudrate ]

DESCRIPTION

       Slattach  is  used  to  assign  a  tty line to a network interface, and to define the network source and destination addresses. The ttyname
       parameter is a string of the form ``ttyXX'', or ``/dev/ttyXX''.	The optional baudrate parameter is used to set the speed  of  the  connec-
       tion. If not specified, the default of 9600 is used.

       Only the super-user may attach a network interface.

       To  detach  the	interface,  use `ifconfig interface-name down' after killing off the slattach process.	interface-name is the name that is
       shown by netstat(1)

EXAMPLES

	       slattach ttyh8
	       slattach /dev/tty01 4800

DIAGNOSTICS

       Messages indicating the specified interface does not exit, the requested address is unknown, the user is not privileged and tried to  alter
       an interface's configuration.

SEE ALSO

       rc(8), intro(4), netstat(1), ifconfig(8)
