Below I’ll describe how to achieve this in Debian based and Red Hat based distros seperately.

Using Debian based distros (Ubuntu, Mint etc.), setting multiple IP addresses on a single network interface is simple.

What we will do is to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file.
If you are using DHCP, then your file should look similar to this,

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet dhcp
iface eth0:0 inet6 dhcp

Here, the eth0:0 is how we get the secondary IP address on the eth0 device.

If you’re using a static IP address instead of DHCP, then your interfaces file should be like,

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.20.30.40
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.20.30.0
broadcast 10.20.30.255
gateway 10.20.30.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8

iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2f00:7300:100::10
netmask 64

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 10.20.30.41
netmask 255.255.255.0

iface eth0:0 inet6 static
address 2f00:7300:100::11
netmask 64

You can add as many as you want, such as eth0:1, eth0:2 …

Sometimes when adding multiple IPv6 addresses on Debian systems, it is possible that you get an error. The current workaround for that is to enable and disable the device a couple of times. You can find the solution to that problem here.

In Red Hat based distros (CentOS, Fedora etc.), the interfaces are edited through the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scritps. Here we have multiple files, each pointing for a device. For instance, to have 2 additional IP’s on a single ethernet device (totaling 3 addresses) we should have 3 files as follows,

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:2

The main device file would be just a standard one, we don’t have to change anything with it.
On the other hand, the ifcfg-eth0:1 file should be similar to this,

NAME=""
BOOTPROTO=static
MACADDR=""
IPV6INIT=no
DEVICE=eth0:1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
MTU=""
BROADCAST=10.20.30.255
ONPARENT=yes
IPADDR=10.20.30.41
NETWORK=10.20.30.0
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=2f00:7300:100::11
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=2f00:7300:100::1
ONBOOT=yes

This would suffice. Don’t forget to restart your network services after adding the lines (or files) to with your appropriate settings.

For Debian : $ /etc/init.d/networking stop && /etc/init.d/networking start
For Red Hat : $ service network restart

For additional IPv6 addresses you should need to add IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES=”” line to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file

IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=2f00:7300:1::2/64
IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES="2f00:7300:1::3/64 2f00:7300:1::4/64 2f00:7300:1::fff4/64 2f00:7300:1::fff5/64"

In named.conf edit the options directive and add:

options {

allow-transfer {Secondary Server IP; }; allow-recursion { 127.0.0.1; A.B.C/24; };

};

In secondary server:
add to options:

allow-transfer { none; }; allow-recursion { 127.0.0.1; A.B.C/24; };
