To manually add IPs in Gentoo, you must ssh as root and edit the following file:
/etc/conf.d/net
Here is what it should contain (assuming eth0 is your main interface):
config_eth0=(
"mainIP1 brd 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.224"
"mainIP2 brd 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.224"
"mainIP3 brd 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.224"
)
routes_eth0=( "default gw 10.10.10.9" )
You will have to replace 'mainIP' with your actual IPs and put in the correct broadcast, netmask and gateway IPs.
After this is done, save the file and reload the network interface.
