FLEX 700H Virtual interface on external interface

DanniKool

Hi

Is it not yet possible to create a virtual interface on an external WAN interface (ge1)?

just without :1

you first need to be in editing then

vrf main interface ethernet ge1 ipv4 address 192.168.254.1/29

then

commit

in a setup I did with it showed as working but could be some problems

PeterUK

you can by SSH like

edit running

vrf main interface ethernet ge2 ipv4 address 192.168.254.1/29
commit
copy running startup

But when you change stuff in the UI it may not stick and has to be applied again and may be problems

I would like to create a secondary interface to my primary static WAN IP on ge1 as a virtual interface. This option is possible on the older Zyxel firewalls.

So the command should maybe be something like this:

vrf main interface ethernet ge1:1 ipv4 address 192.168.254.1/29

The above gives me an error using ssh. So i guess it's not possible at the moment?

Anyway, i think i can overcome this by using one of my available WAN IP's as IP instead of interface in one of my VPN's……
