Command
IP address
Use
This command is used to set IP addresses on an interface.
Syntax
R1(config)#ip address <IP address> <subnet mask> <secondary>
Options
| <IP address> | IP address for the interface |
| <subnet mask> | IP address for the interface |
| <secondary> | Sets the IP address as a secondary IP address, you can have many secondary IP addresses on an interface if required. Though some routing protocols do not function properly with secondary addresses. |
Example
In this example, we set the ip address of int fa0/0 on R2.
|
R2(config)#int fa0/0 |
Next, to test it out, we do a quick ping to the new ip address.
|
R2(config-if)#ip add 11.22.33.44 255.255.255.240 secondary R2(config-if)#do ping 11.22.33.44 Type escape sequence to abort. |
