Let's say you wanted to add the IP address is 66.218.71.198, you would enter:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 66.218.71.198
Do this for all IPs you want to add. Don't forget to put them in your startup file so that when you reboot you don't have to rekey them.

Can you please tell me where the startup file is?

Use rc.local found at /etc/rc.d/rc.local

I forgot to mention that if you're adding more than one IP address it would appear as follows:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 66.218.71.198
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:2 66.218.71.199
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:3 66.218.71.200
Note the increment referencing your ethernet card for each IP.The Only Time When Success Comes Before Work Is In A Dictionary.

look in /etc/sysconfig/network-sc r ipts/
you will see some files like : ifcfg-eth0
copy this to ifcfg-eth0:1
then edit it naming the device eth0:1
and change the ipaddress
then type:
ifup ifcfg-eth0:1I don't endorse a god damn thing......

Blazin has it right for red hat.
YOu can also add a range of ip's with this config file:
Call the script (with 0 being a counter 0 thru whatever for each non sequential range you want to add): ifcfg-eth0-range0
and the contents of the file should be:
IPADDR_START=123.123.123.1
IPADDR_END=123.123.123.20
CLONENUM_START=0
BROADCAST=123.123.123.256
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=123.123.123.0
ONBOOT=yes
That would creat the ip's from 1 - 20
Obviously replace the network, broadcast, and netmask with your own infoComment

i forgot once you edit the files, i restart the network so the changes take place with:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
and then you can test your work with:
ifconfigComment
