Usage guidelines
Use this command to configure a primary IP address for an interface. If the interface connects to multiple
subnets, configure primary and secondary IP addresses on the interface so the subnets can
communicate with each other through the interface.
An interface can have only one primary IP address. A newly configured primary IP address overwrites
the previous address.
