+====== Howto add IP aliases on ppp0 in IPfire ======
+
+Let's say you have a /29 network on your DSL subscriber (dial) line: 212.218.10.64/29.
+
+In that case you could use six ip adresses (65 to 70) as public addresses for machines or services behind your firewall.
+
+According to this [[https://community.ipfire.org/t/adding-aliases-to-red-interface/552|thread]] and this [[https://community.ipfire.org/t/a-red-interface-in-pppoe-and-have-two-public-ip/8014|thread]] it is not possible. But it is possible - and i will show you how.
+
+1.) Enable SSH access in ipfire and connect to ipfire as root.  
+2.) Add the following lines to the file /var/ipfire/ethernet/aliases:
+
+  212.218.10.65,on,RED2
+  212.218.10.66,on,RED3
+  212.218.10.67,on,RED4
+  212.218.10.68,on,RED5
+  212.218.10.69,on,RED6
+  212.218.10.70,on,RED7
+
+3.) Create a new file (this will configure your ip addresses)
+
+/etc/rc.d/init.d/networking/red.up/02-aliases:
+
+  ip addr add 212.218.10.65/29 dev ppp0
+  ip addr add 212.218.10.66/29 dev ppp0
+  ip addr add 212.218.10.67/29 dev ppp0
+  ip addr add 212.218.10.68/29 dev ppp0
+  ip addr add 212.218.10.69/29 dev ppp0
+  ip addr add 212.218.10.70/29 dev ppp0
+  ip addr show ppp0
+
+4.) Make it executable!
+
+  chmod 0755 /etc/rc.d/init.d/networking/red.up/02-aliases
+
+5.) Restart your Internet connection
+
+READY.
+
+- The new ip addresses will be automatically configured every time the firewall reconnects or reboots.
+- You will see the addresses in the ipfire menu -> network -> aliases
+- You can use the new addresses in the firewall config - they will appear as RED2 - RED7
+- The warning "Aliases will not be active unless your RED interface is STATIC" can be safely ignored from now on
+
+Have fun ;-)

+====== Howto add a IP alias on the "green" interface in IPfire ======
+
+Let's say you have a an internal /24 network and you want to add a secondary (local) IP address (this could be useful in case you remove an old machine from the network and your new firewall is on a different address - but your new firewall should offer on of it's services on the old address).
+
+In the ipfire GUI this is not possible. But you can use the file "rc.local" (which is executed while the firewall boots).
+
+1.) Add the following lines to the file /etc/sysconfig/rc.local:
+
+  ip addr add 192.168.89.1/24 dev green0
+  ip addr show green0
+
+2.) Make it executable:
+
+  chmod 0755 /etc/sysconfig/rc.local
+
+3.) Reboot your firewall or execute the script manually
+
+READY.
+
+The new ip address will be automatically configured every time the firewall reboots.
