How to find where netwrok bandwidth is going on a given server?

How to configure multiple IP addresses on same Network card in Linux?

[root@client1 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE="eth1"
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.122.3
PREFIX=24
GATEWAY=192.168.122.1
NAME="System eth1"

[root@client1 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:1
DEVICE="eth1:1"
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.122.30
PREFIX=24
GATEWAY=192.168.122.1

Once the virtual network interface file is setup correctly, then either restart system or use "service network restart" or use "ifup eth1:1" (whatever suitable & feasible - depends case to case) to bring virtual interface up. It will show up as follows:

[root@client1 ~]# ifconfig -a
