Assigning an IP address to a VBDIF Interface
The IP address assigned for a VBDIF interface that performs local proxy ARP for a bridge domain (BD) must be in the same network segment as the IP addresses of the member interfaces in the BD.
Procedure
- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
- Run bridge-domain bd-id
A BD is created.
- Run interface vbdif bd-id
A VBDIF interface is created, and the VBDIF interface view is displayed.
The number of the VBDIF interface must be the same as the BD ID specified in Step 2.
A VBDIF interface of a BD goes Up only if the BD has a Layer 2 sub-interface that is in the Up state. To add a Layer 2 sub-interface to a BD, run the bridge-domain (Layer 2 sub-interface view) command in the view of the Layer 2 sub-interface.
- Run ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } [ sub ]
An IP address is assigned to the VBDIF interface.
- Run commit
The configuration is committed.
