Creating the Demand Interface

To create a demand interface and access the demand interface configuration
mode context, enter this global configuration mode command:
Syntax: interface demand <number>
Replace <number> with a number between 1 and 1024. Each demand inter-
face must have a unique number.
After you create the demand interface, its status automatically changes to
administratively up. You do not need to activate the interface by entering no
shutdown. The demand interface will begin spoofing an up status after you
configure an IP address for it.

Configuring an IP Address

You have several options for setting up an IP address on the demand interface:
you can assign the demand interface a static IP address, you can configure it
to negotiate the IP address from its PPP peer, or you can configure it as an
unnumbered interface.
Configure a Static IP Address. To assign the demand interface a static IP
address, enter:
Syntax: ip address <A.B.C.D> <subnet mask | /prefix length>
For example, you might enter:
ProCurve(config-demand 1)# ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252
or
ProCurve(config-demand 1)# ip address 10.1.1.1 /30
Configure a Negotiated IP address. If you want the demand interface to
negotiate an IP address with its PPP peer, enter the following command from
the demand interface configuration mode context:
Syntax: ip address negotiated
