Configure a secondary address to an
existing IP interface.

Configure IP Interfaces for a VLAN

You can configure one IP interface per VLAN. Once an IP interface has been assigned
to a VLAN, you can add a secondary IP addresses to the VLAN.
To configure a VLAN with an IP interface, enter the following command in Configure
mode:
Create an IP interface for a VLAN.
Configure a secondary address to an
existing VLAN.

Specify Ethernet Encapsulation Method

The SmartSwitch Router supports two encapsulation types for IP. You can configure
encapsulation type on a per interface basis.
• Ethernet II: The standard ARPA Ethernet Version 2.0 encapsulation, which uses a
16-bit protocol type code (the default encapsulation method)
• 802.3 SNAP: SNAP IEEE 802.3 encapsulation, in which the type code becomes the
frame length for the IEEE 802.2 LLC encapsulation (destination and source Service
Access Points, and a control byte)
To configure IP encapsulation, enter one of the following commands in Configure
mode.
Configure Ethernet II encapsulation.
Configure 802.3 SNAP encapsulation.

Configure Address Resolution Protocol

The SSR allows you to configure Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table entries and
parameters. ARP is used to associate IP addresses with media or MAC addresses.
Taking an IP address as input, ARP determines the associated MAC address. Once a
media or MAC address is determined, the IP address/media address association is
