Your memory isn't quite accurate... ifconfig has never handled
multiple IP addresses on an interface with aliases being used to
create separate virtual interfaces instead.
Well recently I was going by:
http://www.tecmint.com/create-multiple-ip-addresses-to-one-single-network...
Which show ifconfig listing all the ethn:m interfaces. Also I use to do
a lot of vlaning when I ran radvd on linux before my firewall supported
it. Now maybe that was back in Centos 4 days.
It is also not a shell over ip but rather a completely different
package with a completely different development history...
This is just yet another example of why net-tools has been deprecated
a long time and that people really need to break their muscle memory
and use iproute2 ...
Working on it. Really.
Is net-tools still in the base fedora install? Probably long since
time to pull it if so... I know el7 doesn't include it in base or core
package groups anymore at least..
