[Q] how to set virtual IP on AS 4

[Josh Miller]

Thanks for the response, Ray.

I'm familiar with the use of each, but I'm searching for a document 
which details the technical differences.  One such example; if you 
create an IP alias with iproute, you will not see the IP address listed 
with ifconfig, you must use 'ip route show' to see it.

The only reason for my post was a long shot-in-the-dark request looking 
for a specific document which I have seen in the past.

Thanks again,
