5.1.1 Assign Multiple IP Addresses to Network Interfaces
The IC35516 software supports multiple IP addresses per interface. You can specify an unlimited number of secondary addresses. Secondary IP addresses can be used in a variety of applications:
There might not be enough host addresses for a particular network segment. Suppose your
Many older networks were built using Level 2 bridges, and were not
You can create a single network from subnets that are physically separated by another network by using a secondary address. In these instances, the first network is layered on top of the second network. Note that a subnet cannot appear on more than one active interface of the router at a time.
Note: If any router on a network segment uses a secondary address, all other routers on that same segment must also use a secondary address from the same network or subnet.
