Usage Information You can congure both IPv4 and IPv6 virtual addresses simultaneously, but only one of each. Each time this
command is issued, it replaces the previously congured address of the same family, IPv4 or IPv6. The no
virtual-ip command takes an address/prex-length argument, so that the desired address only is
removed. If you enter the
no virtual-ip command without any specied address, then both IPv4 and
IPv6 virtual addresses are removed.
