Chapter 27: Internet Protocol Version 4 Packet Routing

Section VII: Routing

Many of the IPv4 routing commands have a parameter for an interface 
name. An interface name consists of a VLAN and an interface number, 
separated by a dash. The VLAN is designated by “vlan” followed by the 
VLAN identification number (VID) or the VLAN name.

Here are several examples. The name for a interface in a VLAN with the 
VID of 7 and an interface number of 0 is:

vlan7-0

The name for an interface in a VLAN with the VID of 28 and an interface 
number of 2 is:

vlan28-2

Here is an example of an interface name that uses the VLAN name 
instead of the VID to identify the VLAN. The interface is part of the Sales 
VLAN and has an interface number of 5. Note that a dash separates “vlan” 
from the VLAN name.

vlan-Sales-5

The following is an example of a command that uses an interface name. 
The example uses the ADD IP INTERFACE command to create a new 
interface for a subnet in a VLAN with a VID of 28. The interface is 
assigned an interface number of 0, an IP address of 149.44.22.22, and a 
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0:

add ip interface=vlan28-0 ipaddress=149.44.22.22 mask 
255.255.255.0

This command is identical to the previous command, except it identifies 
the VLAN by its name, Production:

add ip interface=vlan-Production-0 ipaddress=149.44.22.22 
mask 255.255.255.0
