2. Select CREATE. The Add IP Interface Web page is displayed. See
Figure 12-3.
3. Enter a name for the interface in the Interface field.
4. Select a VLAN for this multinet interface from the VLAN field pull-
down menu.
5. Enter the network address associated with this interface in the Network
Address field.
6. Select CREATE from the bottom of the Add IP Address Web page.
The IP Interfaces Web page is redisplayed and displays the new
interface name listed in the Interface field.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for any other interfaces that you want to
associate with the same VLAN.
*Note: You must have a different network address for each new
multinetting interface that you create for the same VLAN.
*Note: The first IP interface that has the BootP/DHCP Relay
Gateway enabled will be the relay.
Configuring Short-Lived IP Protocol Filters
Overview
This feature helps conserve the forwarding engine resources of the switch.
Depending on the configuration of your network, the forwarding cache may
contain a high number of entries for short-lived protocols, for example,
DNS and NTP. These short-lived protocol entries consume resources that
could otherwise be used for data traffic of other protocols such as FTP,
Telnet, HTTP, RealAudio, and online games.
