I have purchased an additional ip and want this ip to be up on startup.How doI do this? I am running Fedora Core 9.

Once machine is up,I am doing it by this command:
ifconfig eth0:1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 up

I want it to be enabled at startup.

Adding new file ifcfg-etho:1 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts did not work???

I have no idea how to set a new IP up on Fedora, but the wiki may help:

http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Multiple_IPs

As above, try the wiki:

You need to create a new config file for the new IP.

if your main IP is eth0 then your second one can be eth0:0 or eth0:1, the new file would be /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 or similar.

Yell out if you get stuck.

I have tried as mentioned but on startup new ip is not reachable.

For now I have put this command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
ifconfig eth0:1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 up

With this ip is reachable when machine reboots

edit

/etc/network/interfaces


then add your private ip you 'purchased'

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.90
netmask 255.255.255.0

then edit

/etc/hosts

and add

192.168.1.90 server1 server1.yourdomain.com

That's Debian et. al., not Fedora/RedHat. They are quite different.

He is not asking about his private IP, he is asking about his public IP that he 'purchased'.

of course it's private ip after purchase

"Private IP" is not the same as additional IP. Private IP is the IP address for the private local network, and can be used for traffic between two Linodes in the same datacenter without it being counted against your monthly network quota.
