it’s not working for me…. I did all this steps but bad luck…. any other method to see whether the IP range has been allotted to the server without any problem?? Because I am not able to see any IP address which are allotted to my server…

@beni: if you use ifcfg-eth0-range0 this will no longer create the individual files ifcfg-eth0:x. That’s the point of this method. If you need to have the individual files you can just create them and restart networking and no longer use the range method. There is no automated mechanism that I am aware of that will do this for you (except maybe some control panel software).

Dear thats fine
ifcfg-eth0-range0 i have created and after restarting the network service i can ping the ip range which i have assigned and i can see all virtual network cards with ifconig. No problem
My querry is by doing so i am not able to get the files for each virtual network card like ifcfg-eth0:5 ifcfg-eth0:6 so on.
Is there any mechanism by which we can also create a file associated with each ip. we are running a lot of websites on local servers for testing purpose on single sys.
Thanks a lot dear

@beni: you have to create manually the file ifcfg-eth0-range0 as explained in the post, opposed to ifcfg-eth0 for ex. that is created by the installer when you installed the system. hth.
