About the Aliases tab
The Interface Configuration Aliases tab contains an Interface Aliases table that
displays any alias IP addresses defined for the selected network interface.
Alias IP addresses are used in Multiple Address Translation (MAT). Adding
alias IP addresses to a network interface can be used for purposes such as:
• Specific logical networks connected to one interface can be consistently
mapped to specific IP aliases on another interface when using address
hiding.
• The NIC can accept connection requests for any defined alias.
• The NIC can communicate with more than one logical network without the
need for a router.
• The NIC can have more than one address on the same network and have
DNS resolve different domains to each host address.
To delete an alias IP address, select the item, and click Delete.
To add or modify an alias IP address, select the item, click New or Modify, and
see “About the Aliases: New/Modify Network Alias window” below.
