Abstract
In one example, a method for configuring an interface includes creating an alias interface, where the alias interface is associated with a corresponding base interface. An alias address such as an IPv6 address is then created and assigned to the alias interface. The alias address is then added to the base interface, the base interface including a statically configured address. Finally, access to the base interface is enabled by way of the alias interface.
