Hi,

I can't think of a practical example for this, but I
have played with this on some router configs I did in
my studies. By default, IRDP will announce the
interfaces IP address with default preference. With
this command you can have IRDP broadcast another IP
address besides the IP address on the router
interface.

Maybe this would be useful if you had a
router/fwall/etc that didn't support IRDP. You could
then announce that devices IP on the router via IRDP.
