Description
The interface create ip command creates and configures an IP interface. Configuration of
an IP interface can include information such as the interface’s name, IP address, netmask,
broadcast address, and so on. You can also create an interface in a disabled (down) state
instead of the default enabled (up) state.
The SSR is pre-allocated a pool of 64 MAC addresses. By default, each new IP interface is
automatically configured with the lowest MAC address in the pool (the “base” MAC
address). However, you can assign an interface a different MAC address by using the
mac-addr option.
Interfaces on the SSR are logical interfaces. Therefore, you can associate an interface with a
single port or with multiple ports.
• To associate an interface with a single port, use the port option with the
interface create command.
• To associate an interface with multiple ports, first create an IP VLAN and add ports to
it, then use the vlan option with the interface create command.
Note:
You must use either the port option or the vlan option with the interface create
command.
