Ip Commands (Including Ip Multinetting) - D-Link xStack DGS-3612G series Cli Manual

xStack
IP Multinetting is a function that allows multiple IP interfaces to be assigned to the same VLAN. This is beneficial to the
administrator when the number of IPs on the original interface is insufficient and the network administrator wishes not to resize the
interface. IP Multinetting is capable of assigning another IP interface on the same VLAN without affecting the original stations or
settings of the original interface.
Two types of interfaces are configured for IP multinetting, primary and secondary, and every IP interface must be classified as one of
these. A primary interface refers to the first interface created on a VLAN, with no exceptions. All other interfaces created will be
regarded as secondary only, and can only be created once a primary interface has been configured. There may be 256 interfaces per
VLAN (one primary, and up to 255 secondary) and they are, in most cases, independent of each other. Primary interfaces cannot be
deleted if the VLAN contains a secondary interface. Once the user creates multiple interfaces for a specified VLAN (primary and
secondary), that set IP interface cannot be changed to another VLAN.
IP Multinetting is a valuable tool for network administrators requiring a multitude of IP addresses, but configuring the Switch for IP
multinetting may cause troubleshooting and bandwidth problems, and should not be used as a long term solution. Problems may
include:
The Switch may use extra resources to process packets for multiple IP interfaces.
The amount of broadcast data, such as RIP update packets and PIM hello packets, will be increased
