I have an extra IP address available to my server, and so I need to assign it in the interfaces file. At the moment, I've got this:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

  auto eth0



iface eth0 inet static

  address aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa

  netmask 255.255.254.0

  gateway bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb

  dns-nameservers ccc.ccc.ccc.ccc ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd eee.eee.eee.eee

  dns-search vps-number.com

What do I add/assign my new IP address (fff.fff.fff.fff)? And how do I then restart it to accept the new configuration?

  netmask 255.255.254.0

  gateway bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb

  dns-nameservers ccc.ccc.ccc.ccc ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd eee.eee.eee.eee

  dns-search vps-number.com



auto eth0:0

iface eth0:0 inet static

  address fff.fff.fff.fff

  netmask 255.255.254.0

Then you can run sudo ifup eth0:0 to bring it up and sudo ifdown eth0:0 to bring it down.
