Steps for Creating Virtual IP in Linux Server

To Create VIP’s in Linux Server:

Login as root

# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

# cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth1

# vi ifcfg-eth1

device=eth0:1 (change only this and save the file)

# service network restart

# /sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 10.60.124.89 netmask 255.255.255.0

# /sbin/arping -b -A -c 3 -I eth0 10.60.124.89

Note: 10.60.124.89 is the VIP

255.255.255.0 is the subnetmask.
