12. Basic IP Commands16012.2. create ipif DescriptionThis command is used to create an L3 interface. This interface can be configured withIPv4 or IPv6 addresses. Currently, it has a restriction: an interface can have only oneIPv4 address defined. But it can have multiple IPv6 addresses defined. Thus, themultinetting configuration of IPv4 must be done through creation of a secondaryinterface on the same VLAN, instead of directly configuring multiple IPv4 addresseson the same interface. Configuration of IPv6 addresses must be done through thecommand config ipif. Formatcreate ipif {} {secondary | state[enable | disable] | proxy_arp [enable | disable] {local [enable | disable]}} ParametersSpecify the name of the interface.(Optional) Specify a host address and length of network mask.Specify the name of the VLAN corresponding to the IP interface. The maximum length is32 characters.secondaryThe IPv4 secondary interface to be created.state The state of the IP interface.enableEnable the state setting.disableDisable the state setting.proxy_arpEnable or disable the proxy ARP function. It is for IPv4 function. The default is disabled.enableEnable the proxy ARP function.disableDisable the proxy ARP function.local (Optional) This setting controls whether the system provides the proxy reply for the ARPpackets destined for IP address located on the same interface as the received interface.When proxy ARP is enabled for an interface, the system will do the proxy reply for theARP packets destined for an IP address located on a different interface. For ARP packetsdestined for an IP address located on the same interface, the system will check thissetting to determine whether to reply.
