IP Multinetting

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 five interfaces per VLAN (one primary, and up to four 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
