max number virtual IP addresses per NIC

networking linux ip

How many virtual IP addresses are allowed to be added per network card? I am running a Linux OS.


Solution 1:

I believe the answer is "as many as you have have memory to support and IP addresses available". There is not a soft limit in the kernel that I am aware of.

What is the Maximum Number of IPs that can be Assigned to a Given Computer?
