AltIP3

Alternate IP (ALT IP) definition name/identifier.

Alternate IP address associated with a port. This identifier does not have any restriction on naming.

Example for ALT IP identifier : Alt_Pkt0_AX,  ALT_PKT0_01, signaling_Pkt0_05.

IFName

Interface definition Name

Indicates the association between the ALT IP address and the interface definition.

When the user changes the interface definition name (i.e IFX name), the user must simultaneously change the IFName value in this definition. Otherwise, the link between ALT IP and it's port is lost.

IP

IPV4 or IPV6 address

IP address that needs to be associated with the port.

User can type v4 or v6 address, based on what version the parent interface dictionary contains.

When IF definition has v4/v6 address, the ALT IP definition also must have only v4/v6 address.

In case of dual-stack scenario, since, Interface dictionary has both V4 and V6 addresses, the ALT IP definition can also have v4 and v6 addresses. But both have to be defined in separate ALT dictionary, pointing to it's parent dictionary.

FIPV4

Floating IP on the Alternate IP

If a floating IP is associated with the ALT (alternate/additional) IP, the value against this field must contain the floating IP.

Note: The RNat flag which is defined in interface dictionary is an interface-wide entity. If the RNat flag is disabled in interface dictionary, the FIP value provided in the ALT IP definition is not considered while populating the metaVariables for this port.
