Sub-Interface 157
Any packet reaching the null interface will be dropped, which provides another
method for packet filtering: Just sending unnecessary network traffic to Null0
interface, so that there is no need to configure ACL.
For example: Use static routing configuration command ip route-static
192.101.0.0 255.255.0.0 null 0 will drop all the packets sent to network
segment 192.101.0.0.
2Configure operating parameters of the interface
ip unreachables is the only command which can be configured on the Null
interface. It indicates that the router will reply the ICMP unreachable packet when
it receives packets sent to the Null interface.
Please perform the following configurations in Null interface view.

Sub-Interface The 3Com Router comes up with the concept of “sub-interface” and allows users
to configure multiple sub-interfaces on one physical interfaces on the 3Com
Router series, making it very flexible for configuration.
Sub-interfaces refer to the multiple logical virtual interfaces configured on one
physical interface. These virtual interfaces share the physical layer parameters of
the physical interface, meanwhile, they can be configured with their own link layer
parameters and network layer parameters. Therefore, the multiple virtual
interfaces corresponding to one physical are called “sub-interfaces”.
■In the 3Com Router series, the physical interfaces supporting sub-interface
features include:
■Ethernet interface: When the sub-interface of Ethernet has not been
configured with VLAN id, the sub-interface can only support IPX network
protocol. After configured with VLAN id, it will be able to support both IPX and
IP protocols.
■WAN interface which link layer protocol is frame relay: Its sub-interface can
support IP and IPX network protocols.
WAN interface which link layer protocol is X.25: Its sub-interface can support IP
and IPX network protocols.
Configure Sub-Interface According to different physical interfaces, sub-interface configuration includes:
■Configure sub-interfaces of Ethernet interface
■Configure sub-interfaces of WAN interface which link layer protocol is frame
relay
■Configure sub-interfaces of WAN interface which link layer protocol is X.25
