Starting IP Services with Site Manager
117356-A Rev. A 3-21
Using the Alternate Associated Address Option
The alternate associated address option ensures that a network on an unnumbered
interface remains reachable. IP automatically assigns an alternate associated
address to an unnumbered interface in the event that the primary associated
address has gone down. IP uses the first available interface.
You can use Site Manager to enable the associated address option.
Note: In the event that an unnumbered associated address becomes
unreachable, some functionality may be lost for certain protocols over the
unnumbered interface.
Note: In some configurations, changing the associated address can affect the
way routes are advertised. In a RIP configuration, for example, if you change
the associated address for an unnumbered interface configured with RIP, you
may change the way RIP advertises subnets.
