Ethernet port configuration task list 144
SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 12 • Ethernet port configuration
Figure 21 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 21. 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 to an already existing IP
interface lan.
node(cfg)#port ethernet 0 0
node(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 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.
Step Command Purpose
1 node(cfg)#port ethernet slot port Enters Ethernet port configuration
mode for the interface on slot and
port
2 node(prt-eth)[slot/port]#bind interface name router Binds the Ethernet port to the already
existing IP interface if-name
