Chapter 38 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring IP Addressing
Configuring IP Addressing
A required task for configuring IP routing is to assign IP addresses to Layer 3 network interfaces to
enable the interfaces and to allow communication with the hosts on those interfaces that use IP. These
sections describe how to configure various IP addressing features. Assigning IP addresses to the
interface is required; the other procedures are optional.
