Caution:
z
The primary IP address you assigned to the interface can overwrite the old one if
there is any.
z
An interface cannot be configured with a secondary IP address if the interface has
been configured to obtain an IP address through BOOTP or DHCP.
z
The primary and secondary IP addresses you assign to the interface can be located
on the same network segment. However, this should not violate the rule that
different physical interfaces on your device must reside on different network
segments.
