Chapter 14 Configuring IP Unnumbered Interface Configuring IP Unnumbered Interface Support with Connected Host Polling

Configuring IP Unnumbered Interface Support on a Range of Ethernet VLANs

To configure IP unnumbered interface support on a range of Ethernet VLAN interfaces, perform this
task:
In the following example, VLANs in the range from 1 to 10 are configured as IP unnumbered interfaces,
sharing IP address of Fast Ethernet 3/1:
Switch> enable
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# interface range vlan 1 - 10
Switch(config-if)# ip unnumbered fastethernet 3/1
Switch(config-if)# exit
Switch(config)# end
Configuring IP Unnumbered Interface Support with Connected Host Polling
To configure IP unnumbered interface support with connected host polling, perform this task:
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1 Switch# enable Enables privileged EXEC mode.
Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2 Switch# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3 Switch(config)# interface range {{fastethernet
| gigabitethernet | vlan vlan} slot/interface
{fastethernet | gigabitethernet | vlan vlan}
slot/interface | macro macro-name}
Executes commands on multiple interfaces at the same
time.
A hyphen must be entered with a space on either side to
separate the range information.
Step 4 Switch(config-if)# ip unnumbered type number Enables IP processing on an interface without assigning an
explicit IP address to the interface.
The type and number arguments specify another interface
on which the switch has an assigned IP address. The
specified interface cannot be another unnumbered interface.
Step 5 Switch(config-if)# exit Returns to global configuration mode.
Step 6 Switch(config)# end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7 Switch# show running-config Verifies that IP unnumbered support has been configured
correctly.
Command Purpose
Step 1 Switch# enable Enables privileged EXEC mode.
Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2 Switch# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
