Virtual Interface Commands
From the Special Interface Commands pane you also can create Virtual
network interfaces – ones that are not associated with hardware. Virtual
interfaces allow you to associate more than one IP address with a system. A
typical use of this technique would be to support multiple Web sites. For
example, if http://www.examplesite.com were assigned the address
222.33.44.55, virtual interfaces 222.33.44.56 and 222.33.44.57 might be
assigned to www.examplesite.net and www.examplesite.org. All three sites could
exist on the same system without conflict.

Virtual interfaces also allow a system to communicate on more than one network
address space. For example, virtual interfaces allow you to temporarily renumber
a network from a masqueraded network address space to a private (10.0.0.0)
subnet. During the transition, all servers can be assigned a virtual address
enabling them to communicate with clients on both the old and new network
address spaces. Externally, virtual interfaces appear as if they are actual
interfaces.

Click the Add new Iface button. The virtual interface appears in the tree
and is automatically named with a prefix that matches the physical interface
name and a suffix which is includes the virtual interface index inside brackets.

Using Table View
The Table View option is a feature that further enhances the controllability of
interface IP settings. This feature allows you to browse and edit the basic
settings of all available interfaces. To access this option, click the Table View
button located below Network Interface Tree pane. The Interface
Configuration dialog appears.
