5.15 Secondary IP Address
A secondary IP address can be configured on the same interface that has the primary IP address.
When multiple interfaces exist, the secondary address is associated with the interface that is bound to an address that is on the same network. If there are more than one interface on the same network, then you can select the interface to add the secondary IP address. If the secondary address is not valid on any of the networks bound to existing interfaces, the address is rejected and an error message is produced.
