I guess you want to use iproute2 instead of creating an alias device. On
1 host I have a /27 net and so I added some code to /sbin/ifup:

    if [ ${DEVICE} = "eth0" ]; then
         for i in `seq 195 222`; do
            ip addr add xxx.yyy.zzz.$i/27 brd xxx.yyy.zzz.www dev eth0
label eth0
         done
    fi

(FC1, script line 362ff.)

For you no loop is needed:

    if [ ${DEVICE} = "eth0" ]; then
	ip addr add 192.168.2.1 dev eth0
    fi

Not the best way to change system scripts which may be overridden next
update of initscripts rpm i.e. But actually there is no mechanism to use
iproute2 style in existing configuration files.
