CHAPTER 6 Configuring IP Interfaces
An IP interface is a logical interface for accessing the LX unit from a network.
The maximum number of IP interfaces on an LX unit is the number of serial
ports on the LX unit, plus 2. For example, the maximum number of IP
interfaces on an 8-port unit is 11 or 12 (if the unit has a modem port); the
maximum number of IP interfaces on a 16-port unit is 20, and so on.
See Chapter 16, “Configuring PPP” for information about configuring IP
interfaces for PPP.
On LX-8000 units, the maximum number of IP interfaces is the number of
serial ports on the LX unit, multiplied by the number of Ethernet ports (2), plus
2. For example, the maximum number of IP interfaces on a 40-port unit is 82
((40 x 2) + 2 = 82).
Each IP interface can have its own IP characteristics. You can access an LX
unit via the Address of the IP interface as an alternative to the ppciboot
(server) Address of the LX unit. The network treats an IP interface as a
network element that is no different from an actual server.
