IP Interface Configuration
Alteon needs an IP interface for each subnet to which it is connected so it can communicate with the real servers and other devices attached to it that receive switching services. Alteon can be configured with up to 256 IP interfaces. Each IP interface represents Alteon on an IP subnet on your network. The interface option is disabled by default.
