OUTING

The following rules apply when you are configuring IP multinetting:

A maximum of one IP address is associated with a router interface (or VLAN).

Multiple VLANs must be used to implement IP multinetting.

A maximum of four subnets are allowed on one multinetted port.

For multinetted segments that span multiple ports, you must configure all the 
multinetted VLANs with the same port assignment.

A maximum of one VLAN can run RIP, and this VLAN must be configured to use 
the IP protocol.

BOOTP works only on the VLAN assigned to the IP protocol.

To use IP multinetting, follow these steps:

Select a port on which IP multinetting is to run.

For example, port 2.

Remove the default VLAN from the selected port.

Create a dummy protocol.

Create the multinetted subnets.

Assign IP addresses to the net VLANs.

Assign one of the subnets to the IP protocol.

Assign the other subnets to the dummy protocol.
