Cisco CCNP and CCIE Study Notes

Let's start things off with a simple one.

Note how Cisco IOS will prevent you from configuring the same IP address on more than one interface. For example

Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#int ethernet 0
Router(config-if)#ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)#no shut
Router(config-if)#int serial 0
Router(config-if)#ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
% 10.10.10.0 overlaps with Ethernet0
Router(config-if)#

Now, given this fact can you tell me what legal configuration results in the following output that clearly shows the same IP address on two different interfaces?

Router# show ip interface brief

Interface    IP-Address      OK?    Method   Status   Protocol
Ethernet0    10.10.10.1      YES    manual   up       up
Serial0      10.10.10.1      YES    manual   up       up
