  • When you talked about Ethernet virtual interface.You didnt need to load any dummy module. You can create it using ifconfig command like eth0:1, eth0:2, etc. Commented Jan 6, 2017 at 6:32
  • You can set different IP address, subnet and gateway on Ethernet virtual interface using ifconfig command. Just add it on rc.local and loaded on the boot.You didnt need to create any ethernet virtual interface config files. Commented Jan 6, 2017 at 6:36

    @supriady I am not asking about Virtual interfaces. I know we can assign virtual ip's to an interface using ifconfig like eth0:1 & so on but here the Mac h/w address will be same for each virtual interface created. My question is how to create multiple dummy interfaces like dummy0 shown above having a different H/w Mac address than the real interfaces. Commented Jan 6, 2017 at 6:52
  • Just to be sure, you do realize that these interfaces will not be visible from outside the machine, right? Commented Jan 6, 2017 at 7:18
