This indicates you are getting an address via DHCP.

In order to setup a second interface you can either use 
system-config-network and look at setting up an alias. Or manually convert

//etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1 making sure that the files contain the information that you need.

The Link below seems to be a good example of what needs to be done.
