SROS Command Line Interface Reference Guide HDLC Command Set

ip unnumbered <interface>

Use the ip unnumbered command to use the IP address assigned to the specified interface for all IP processing on the active interface. Use the no form of this command to remove the unnumbered configuration.

Syntax Description

<interface>	Specifies the interface (in the format type slot/port) that contains the IP address
	to use as the source address for all packets transmitted on this interface.

Default Values

By default, all interfaces are configured to use a specified IP address (using the ip address command).

Command Modes

(config-interface)#	Interface Configuration Mode
	Valid interfaces include: Ethernet (eth 0/1), virtual PPP interfaces (ppp 1), virtual
	HDLC interfaces (hdlc 1), virtual Frame Relay sub-interfaces (fr 1.20), tunnel
	interfaces (tunnel 1), and VLAN interface (vlan 1).

Functional Notes

If ip unnumbered is enabled on an interface, all IP traffic from the interface will use a source IP address taken from the specified interface. For example, specifying ip unnumbered eth 0/1 while in the Frame Relay Sub-Interface Configuration mode configures the Frame Relay sub-interface to use the IP address assigned to the Ethernet interface for all IP processing. In addition, the SROS uses the specified interface information when sending route updates over the unnumbered interface.

Usage Examples

The following example configures the HDLC interface to use the IP address assigned to the Ethernet interface (eth 0/1):

(config)#interface hdlc 1 (config-hdlc 1)#ip unnumbered eth 0/1
