ADD IP INTERFACE
Syntax
add ip interface= interface ipaddress= ipaddress |dhcp|bootp
[mask|netmask= subnetmask ] [ripmetric= value ]
Parameters
interface Specifies a name for the new routing interface. A
name consists of “VLAN” followed by the ID (VID) of
the VLAN where the interface is to be assigned and
an interface number, separated by a dash (e.g.,
vlan4-0). The range of the interface number is 0 to 15.
For background information, refer to “Interface
Names” on page 550.
ipaddress Specifies an IP address for the interface. The
address must be a unique member of the subnet or
network where the interface is to be assigned.
You can assign an address manually or activate the
DHCP or BOOTP client and have a DHCP or BOOTP
server on the network assign the address
automatically. When there is more than one interface
in a VLAN, only one of the interfaces can obtain its IP
address from a DHCP or BOOTP server. The IP
addresses of the other interfaces in the same VLAN
must be assigned manually.
mask or Specifies the subnet mask of the IP address of the
netmask routing interface. Do not specify a mask if the IP
address will be assigned by a DHCP or BOOTP
server. The default value is based on the address’
network type. The default values are:
Class A address - 255.0.0.0
Class B address - 255.255.0.0
Class C address - 255.255.255.0
Note
These three values are the only supported subnet masks for a
routing interface. However, the masks can be assigned to any
address class. For example, the mask 255.0.0.0 can be assigned to
a Class B address.
