Description

Use this command to configure a primary or secondary IP address for a specific interface. You can
also use this command to prevent OSPF from running on specified subnets.

Usage Guidelines

Multiple primary IP addresses are supported on an interface.

A primary IP address cannot overlap with a previously configured IP subnet.

A primary IP address must configured before you configure a secondary IP address in the same
subnet.

Enter no ip address to remove the configured static or DHCP address, resetting the address to
0.0.0.0/0.

Examples

To configure a primary IP address on a specific 10-gigabit Ethernet interface:

switch(config)# interface tengigabitethernet 178/0/9

switch(conf-if-te-178/0/9)# ip address 1.1.1.1/24

To configure a secondary IP address on a specific 40-gigabit Ethernet interface:

switch(config)# interface fortygigabitethernet 1/3/1

switch(conf-if-fo-1/3/1)# ip address 1.1.1.1/28 secondary
