IP Address Configuration Example II
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 1-4, VLAN-interface 1 on Switch is connected to a LAN comprising two segments:
172.16.1.0/24 and 172.16.2.0/24.
To enable the hosts on the two network segments to communicate with the external network through
Switch, and the hosts on the LAN can communicate with each other, do the following:
z Assign two IP addresses to VLAN-interface 1 on Switch.
z Set Switch as the gateway on all PCs of the two networks.

Configuration procedure
# Assign a primary IP address and a secondary IP address to VLAN-interface 1.
<Switch> system-view
[Switch] interface vlan-interface 1
[Switch-Vlan-interface1] ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0

# Set the gateway address to 172.16.1.1 on the PCs attached to the subnet 172.16.1.0/24, and to
172.16.2.1 on the PCs attached to the subnet 172.16.2.0/24.
# Ping a host on the subnet 172.16.1.0/24 from Switch to check the connectivity.
<Switch> ping 172.16.1.2
