IP Address Management
Connecting to a local IP network

Dual IP also allows you to make a smooth transition when changing IP addresses.
That is, a second IP address can act as a place holder while IP addresses are
changed on other network equipment.
Figure 3-2 shows two routers configured with a second address on the same
subnet.
Figure 3-2. Dual IP and shared subnet routing
To assign two addresses to the Pipeline Ethernet interface:
1
Open the Ethernet > Mod Config > Ether Options menu.
2
Enter the IP address for the Ethernet interface in the IP Adrs field.
For example:
IP Adrs=10.2.3.1/24
3
Type the second IP address in the 2nd Adrs field.
For example:
IP Adrs=10.128.8.55/24
After you have configured the IP addresses, you can Ping the addresses from
another IP host on each of the IP subnets to verify that both logical interfaces
are accessible.
Note:
For other routers to recognize the Pipeline on either of its two
networks, you must either turn on RIP on the Ethernet interface or configure
static routes in those routers.

Close and save the profile.
