Hi Mark,

Not sure why the command does not work, unless it is, as Tim said, that you
must already have an address with the same network applied to an interface.
Do you have an interface 33.33.33.1/2, for example?

In other words, the IP ALIAS can add a host address, but not a network.

HTH,

  Greetings Bob,

  What am I missing here?

  R3(config)#ip alias 33.33.33.33 23
  Invalid IP address

  ???

  Tim,

  I like to use the command SHOW IP ALIAS in order to get a short listing of
  the
  IP addresses on each router.

  For example:

  R1#sh ip alias
  Address Type IP Address Port
  Interface 192.168.0.100
  Interface 50.50.50.1
  Interface 172.16.8.1
  Interface 172.16.7.1
  Interface 172.16.1.1
  Interface 172.16.101.1

  I then past the list into notepad, and do a search-and-replace to get rid
of

  "Interface "

  Results in a nice list of IP addresses I can use for my TCL script.

  Just to confirm your explanation, I added the following command to R1:

  R1(config)#ip alias 192.168.0.105 23

  And I was then able to telnet to the 105 address. Here is the subsequent
  output:

  R1#sh ip alias
  Address Type IP Address Port
  Alias 192.168.0.105 23
  Interface 192.168.0.100
  Interface 50.50.50.1
  Interface 172.16.8.1
  Interface 172.16.7.1
  Interface 172.16.1.1
  Interface 172.16.101.1

  Thanks!

    Ray,

    I think this command falls into the "Stupid Router Tricks" category.
    However, nothing in the lab blueprints excludes such things so it could
be
    there.

    That said, here are my notes on it.

    Its possible to have a router accept telnet requests to an ip host
address
    that doesn't exist on any of the router's interfaces. For example,
assume
    that the dns entry for a router is entered with the wrong ip address. If
    you configure ip alias <wrong ip> 23, the router will accept that. (See
IE
    lab 4) The wrong ip address should only be wrong in the host portion of
the
    address- the subnet should exist on the router. Another possible way to
    achieve the same effect is to use 2ndary addressing on an interface.
(See
    IE lab 7)

    Bob,

    Any chance you could post an example of how to use this command to
collect
    addresses for a TCL script? Am I missing something obvious cause I don't
    see how this command would help?

    TIA, Tim

    Not sure of its intended use. I use it to collect IP addresses for my
TCL
    scripts. Seems to minimize unnecessary characters. It also displays
    dynamic
    addresses, those configured via static NAT or DHCP.

      Hi group,
      What is the correct usage of the ip alias command. I was once told it
      can be useful in the lab. Any thoughts?

      TIA
      Ray

      R1(config)#ip alias ?
      A.B.C.D IP address to alias to a port
