Syntax Description
<interface>
Default Values

Command History
Release 1.1
Release 11.1
Functional Notes
If ip unnumbered is enabled on an interface, all IP traffic from the interface will use a source IP address
taken from the specified interface. For example, specifying ip unnumbered eth 0/1 while in the Demand
Interface Configuration mode configures the demand interface to use the IP address assigned to the
Ethernet interface for all IP processing. In addition, the AOS uses the specified interface information when
sending route updates over the unnumbered interface. Static routes may either use the interface name
(ppp 1) or the far-end address (if it will be discovered).
Usage Examples
The following example configures the demand interface (labeled demand 1) to use the IP address
assigned to the Ethernet interface (eth 0/1):
(config)#interface demand 1
(config-demand 1)#ip unnumbered eth 0/1
61200990L1-35E
Specifies the interface (in the format type slot/port) that contains the IP address
to use as the source address for all packets transmitted on this interface. Type
show ip unnumbered interface ? for a list of valid interfaces.
