To add a self IP address to a VLAN from the command line
Use the following syntax:
b self <addr> vlan <vlan_name> [ netmask <ip_mask> ][ broadcast <broadcast_addr>] [unit
<id>]
You can add any number of additional self IP addresses to a VLAN to create
aliases. For example:
b self 11.11.11.4 vlan external
b self 11.11.11.5 vlan external
b self 11.11.11.6 vlan external
b self 11.11.11.7 vlan external
Also, any one self IP address may have floating enabled to create a floating
alias that is shared by both units of a redundant system:
b self 11.11.11.8 floating enable
Assigning a self IP address to an interface automatically maps it to the
VLAN of which it is a member. Assigning a self IP address to an interface
not mapped to an untagged VLAN produces an error message.
