Hey Claude,

Yes, you can. However, this is generally not recommended as having two networks in one broadcast domain is not a best practice. If needed under a special circumstance, you would issue something similar to:

conf t

interface ve 10

ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 secondary

*replace IP address and subnet mask as needed

EDIT: Correct usage in nested comment below

Hi Ben,

i did that but it is restricting to be in same network.... here is the "Error: must assign primary ip address on specified subnet first"

Hey Claude,

I double-checked this in the lab. I misused the 'secondary' syntax there. Apologies. The secondary syntax is for two IP addresses in the same subnet such as:

conf t

interface ve 10

ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0

ip address 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.0 secondary

In your scenario, you simply enter the second address normally. An Example:

conf t

interface ve 10

ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0

ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0
