Setup Static IP Address ONBOOTAssuming you are using eth0 Note this will work for any version of CentOS and basically any version of Redhat Linux or Redhat based distribution. You would need to create a new file [code:1:02f8d34c30] /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0[/code:1:02f8d34c30] DEVICE=eth0:0 the ":0" at the end specifies alias 0 we could actually change this to ":99" or "........
