Assigning an IP address on a brouter port

When you assign an IP address to a brouter port, keep these rules in mind:

IP Address tab
VLAN tab
STG tab
MAC Learning tab
Test tab
ARP tab
DHCP tab
DVMRP tab
IGMP tab
OSPF tab
RIP tab
PIM tab
PGM tab
VRRP tab
You cannot edit the IP address, and you can assign only one IP address to any
router interface (brouter or virtual).
Attempting to assign a second IP address returns an invalid IP address error.
You also cannot assign an IP address to a brouter port that is a member of
a routed VLAN. To assign an IP address to the brouter port, you must first
remove it from the routed VLAN.
If you want to assign a new IP address to a VLAN or brouter port that already
has an IP address, first remove the existing IP address and then insert the new
IP address.
