If you do a:
iconfig eth0:1 192.168.7.2
ip addr show
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:00:39:64:2b:81 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.7.1/24 brd 192.168.7.255 scope global eth0
inet 192.168.7.2/24 brd 192.168.7.255 scope global secondary eth0:1
inet6 fe80::200:39ff:fe64:2b81/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
It will show you that they are just secondary addresses to the main
interface. Really both things are the same, you just view them as
one thing or the other using one tool or the other.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
