Removing an Interface
You might want to remove an interface if you no longer need to
communicate with IP on the ports associated with that interface.
To remove an IP interface definition:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip interface remove
2 Enter the index numbers of the interfaces you want to remove.
Each system maintains a table of routes to other IP networks, subnets, and
hosts. You can either make static entries in this table using the Administra-
tion Console or configure the system to use RIP to automatically exchange
routing information.
Each routing table entry contains the following information:
Destination IP Address and Subnet Mask
These elements define the address of the destination network, subnet, or
host. A route matches a given IP address if the bits in the IP address that
corresponds to the bits set in the route subnet mask match the route
destination address. When it forwards a packet, if the system finds more
than one routing table entry matching an address (for example, a route to
the destination network and a route to the specific subnet within that
network), it will use the most specific route (that is, the route with the most
bits set in its subnet mask).
Routing Metric
This metric specifies the number of networks or subnets that a packet must
pass through to reach its destination. This metric is included in RIP updates
to allow routers to compare routing information received from different
sources.
