Multiple IP addresses on Hosts

[Kristian Strand]

Hello again,

I have a question about adding more IP addresses to hosts.

Is there a way to do this?

Let's say that I have a node that has two interfaces, eth0 and a loopback.

And one of them is a MPLS link and the other a VLAN.

And I want to monitor the uptime on the interfaces

Any thoughts on how to configure this?

Cheers :)

Pretty sure it's a No.

Maybe use the check_iftraffic_nrpe.sh plugin (disclaimer: I wrote it)

  https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Network-Connections%2C-Stats-and-Bandwidth/check_iftraffic_nrpe-2Esh/details

It always alerts if loopback is down. It's got an automatic-smart mode ('-a' option) that will alert depending on whether the administrator set the interface up or not. Not sure how it will monitor the uptime of the interface though. If I needed precisely that then I would probably write a plugin to do it.
