Yes, it's off-topic for security list.

You need to add line "LABEL_0='eth0:0'" if you want to see your
interface in ifconfig command.

Absolutely correct. To see your alias use "ip addr show" command

ifcfg(5):

       LABEL[suffix]
              Each address may be tagged with a label string. For details see
              manpage of ip

SUSE uses ip command to configure interfaces, not ifconfig.
