Figure 22
shows the logical binding of the Ethernet port at slot 0 on port 0 to the IP interface lan which is
defined in the IP context router.
Figure 22. Binding of an Ethernet port to an IP interface
This procedure describes how to bind the Ethernet port to an already existing IP interface
Mode: Configure
Example:
Binding an Ethernet port to an IP interface
The following example shows how to bind the Ethernet port on slot 0 and port 0 of an IPLink device to an
already existing IP interface lan.
IPLink(cfg)#port ethernet 0 0
IPLink(prt-eth)[0/0]#bind interface lan router
Multiple IP addresses on Ethernet ports
It is possible to use multiple IP addresses on an Ethernet port by binding the port to multiple IP interfaces.
Each of the IP interfaces uses an IP address of one of the subnets on the Ethernet ports.
The procedures below demonstrate how to IP addresses of two different networks can be used on an Ethernet
port. However, if necessary any number of IP interfaces can be bound to an Ethernet port.
