May I set the same ip in different interface between two virtual system？

kylelee — Tue, 04 Mar 2014 07:09:43 GMT

I set ip address 192.168.1.254/24 in the ethernet1 which belong default router in the vsvy1.

I try to set the same ip address in the ethernet2 which belong another VR in the vsvy2.

When I commit, it will display duplicate address.

I just do some lab about vistual system for my client.

But I want to sure may I set the same ip in different interface between two virtual system？

Hello Kylelee,

I don't think we can configure the exact same IP address on 2 different interfaces, even though they are part of 2 different VSYS. It will throw you below mentioned error:

Error: duplicate address for interface ethernet1/xx and ethernet1/yy

Error: interface configuration error

(Module: device)

Commit failed

NOTE: 2 different VSYS will allow you to configure same subnet on 2 different physical interfaces.
