Possibility of an IP in a physical interface and a subinterface ip in the same interface?

L2 Linker

Hi all,

I need to reassure me on a simple configuration.

Is it possible to do this configuration?

IP interface 1: a.a.a.a / x
IP interface 1.10: a.a.10.a / x
IP interface 1.20: a.a.20.a / x


I ask this because I've seen a few configurations and whenever subinterfaces were used, there was no IP on the physical interface.


Thank you in advance for your return.Smiley Wink

Hello, will the three example addresses you have specified need to be within the same subnet or three unique subnets?

It is not possible to have multiple layer 3 interfaces belonging to the same subnet within a single virtual router.

I was able to commit the following configuration example on a PA-200 without issue.

(disclaimer: I have not tested passing traffic with a corresponding trunked switch port connected to physical interface ethernet1/4)

Thank you for your help.
