Hi All,
I noticed in the documentation addresses are assigned directly to interfaces. For example:
ge-0/0/1 {
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 172.31.0.1/16;
}
}
}
However, I know it is also possible to assign an address to a VLAN and then associate the VLAN with a physical interface. For example:
vlan {
unit 172 {
family inet {
address 172.31.0.1/16;
}
}
}
In regard to functionality and performance, what factors should I take into consideration before using either method?
Thanks.
