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).
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 PPP
Interface Configuration mode configures the PPP 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. Static routes may either use the interface name (ppp 1) or
the far-end address (if it will be discovered).
Usage Examples
The following example configures the PPP interface (labeled
ppp 1
) to use the IP address assigned to the
Ethernet interface (
eth 0/1
):
ProCurve(config)#
interface ppp 1
ProCurve(config-ppp 1)#
ip unnumbered eth 0/1
