Introduction
1.8.2 Multiple IP Networks Per Port
The ATX’s routing software allows you to configure a single IP
network to span multiple physical network segments (ATX ports).
This enables you to configure multiple physical networks as one
logical network.
Figure 1-6. One Logical Network On Multiple Physical Networks
The ATX also allows you to assign multiple IP network addresses
to one physical network segment (ATX port). This feature allows
you to configure two or more logical networks on the same
physical network segment. If the hosts on a physical network
segment exceed the current logical network’s capacity, you can
easily add another logical network to the physical network
segment.
