Efficient Networks® Router family	Chapter 5: Ethernet Interface Commands
Command Line Interface Guide

eth add

Adds a logical interface onto an Ethernet port so that the router can provide service to multiple IP subnets. The eth add command defines the port number and logical interface number. Next, use the eth ip addr command to define the IP subnet that uses the logical interface. For more information, see “IP Subnets” on page 6-1of the Technical Reference Guide.

NOTE:

A logical interface 0 always exists for Ethernet port 0 (and for port 1 in a dual-port router); logical interface 0 cannot be deleted.

Once defined, routes and filters can be created for the new logical interface using the other eth commands in this section. To list the currently defined logical interfaces, use the eth list command. To remove a logical interface, use an eth delete command.

NOTE:

This command requires a save and reboot before it takes effect.
