Idea #19545: No way to configure multiple IP addresses on same interface

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #4: Provide a simple graphical interface to manage _any_ type of network connection.
Written by sanketmedhi the 30 Apr 09 at 13:52. Related project: Network Manager. Status: New
Rationale
I use a broadband connection, the ISP I use requires me to have a static IP address to login. At the same time, I also want my computer to be accessible to my friends on a LAN which has a different subnet.

Currently, it is not possible to configure multiple addresses for the same interface in Network Manager. I have to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file and add an extra interface called eth0:1, then manually restart networking to get two IP addresses for my requirement.

Solution #1: Add functionality for configuring multiple IP addresses to Network Manager GUI
Written by sanketmedhi the 30 Apr 09 at 13:52.
There should be a functionality in Network Manager to configure multiple IP addresses for the same network interface.

This is mainly to make the system more user friendly especially for non-technical users and in par with other systems.
