Description
Configure the interface address.
If you configure the same address on multiple interfaces in the same routing instance, Junos OS uses only the first configuration, and the remaining address configurations are ignored and can leave interfaces without an address. Interfaces that do not have an assigned address cannot be used as a donor interface for an unnumbered Ethernet interface.
For example, in the following configuration the address configuration of interface xe-0/0/1.0 is ignored:
interfaces { xe-0/0/0 { unit 0 { family inet { address 192.168.1.1/8; } } } xe-0/0/1 { unit 0 { family inet { address 192.168.1.1/8; } } }
For more information on configuring the same address on multiple interfaces, see Configuring the Interface Address.
In Junos OS Release 13.3 and later, when you configure an IPv6 host address and an IPv6 subnet address on an interface, the commit operation fails.
In releases earlier than Junos OS Release 13.3, when you use the same configuration on an interface, the commit operation succeeds, but only one of the IPv6 addresses that was entered is assigned to the interface. The other address is not applied.
Options
