A simple example, assuming your primary network interface is eth0 and has an ip of 192.168.1.1 and the new ip is 192.168.1.2:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.254 auto eth0:0 iface eth0:0 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
Once the appropriate settings have been added to
/etc/network/interfaces
, run
ifup eth0:0
to activate the new interface.
