Command History
Usage Guidelines
You can configure a maximum of four interface bundles. In each bundle, specify one interface as the
master interface by using the optional
master
keyword. The cable interface that is designated as master
is configured with Layer 3 configuration such as primary and secondary IP addresses and other Layer 3
specific configuration commands such as the
cable arp
command.
The following guidelines are required when using bundled cable interfaces:
•
Configure an IP address only on the master interface. Any attempt to add an interface to a bundle is
rejected, if an IP address is configured and the interface is not specified as master interface.
•
You must specify all generic IP networking information (IP address, routing protocols, switching
modes, and so on) on the bundle master interface. Do not specify generic IP networking information
on bundle slave interfaces.
n
Specifies the bundle identifier. Valid range is from 1 to 255.
master
(Optional) Defines the specified interface as the master.
Release
Modification
12.1(1a)T1
This command was introduced.
12.0(8) SC
This command was supported.
12.1(2) EC1
This command was supported.
12.2(15)BC2
This command was enhanced, so that adding an interface as a slave
interface automatically removes the following Layer 3 parameters, if
they are configured on that interface: IP address, IP helper address,
IP access group, PIM configuration, and IP policy-based routing.
Also, creating subinterfaces on slave interfaces has been specifically
prohibited. Previously, subinterfaces could be created on slave
interfaces, although a warning message appeared advising users to
remove the subinterface.
