RE: IP address on serial interfaces of a router

Q. Is it possible to have duplicate ip addresses for two serial interfaces
that belong to the same router?

A. Yes, duplicate ip addresses are allowed on serial interfaces. It is a
more efficient way of bundling links together (ie. MLPPP) and also a better
way to preserve address space. Change the encapsulation from the default
HDLC to PPP in order to assign duplicate ip addresses.

What is the logic behined that I can assign 10.0.0.1/24 (exactly the same ip

address) on two serial interfaces of a single router???

 

 

R1#sh run

 

---output omitted---

 

interface Serial1/0

 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

 serial restart-delay 0

!

interface Serial1/1

 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

 serial restart-delay 0

 

 

Wont the router be confused when it will forward traffic for

10.0.0.0/24network??

 

Thanks and regards,
