[f-nsp] Secondary IP Address weirdness

[Jake Mertel]

Took me a while to get used to this do. The 'secondary' parameter has a different meaning in Foundry then it does in Cisco. On a Cisco device, 'secondary' means that you want to put an additional IP on an interface. On a Foundry device, this is used to have more than 1 IP from the SAME subnet on the interface. If you want to add an IP from a different subnet on the Foundry device, you just add it without the secondary command. So, in your example, the command would be "ip address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 255.255.255.0".

Hello community,
This has got to be an hallucination :

telnet at er01-par01(config-vif-4)#ip address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 255.255.255.0 secondary
IP/Port: Errno(12) Assign primary ip address on specified subnet first
Really !?! Any other way to configure secondary address but on a different subnet ?
Running MLXe boxes with 540b

Best regards.
