Port borrow IP Address
The main purpose of the IP address borrow function is to save valuable IP Address resources. If an interface does not have an IP address, it cannot generate a route and forward packets. The essence of the so-called "borrow IP Address" is that an interface is not configured with an IP address, but you want to use this interface to borrow an IP address from other interfaces with IP addresses, so that the interface can be used normally. If the borrowed interface does not have an ip address, the ip address of the borrowed interface is 0.0.0.0. This function is implemented using the ip unnumbered command.
Note that:
<! -- [If! SupportLists] --> (1) <! -- [Endif] --> the borrower cannot be an Ethernet interface;
<! -- [If! SupportLists] --> (2) <! -- [Endif] --> the address of the borrowed party interface cannot be the borrow address;
<! -- [If! SupportLists] --> (3) <! -- [Endif] --> the address of the borrowed party can be lent to multiple interfaces;
<! -- [If! SupportLists] --> (4) <! -- [Endif] --> the Loopback address can be borrowed from other interfaces, but cannot be borrowed from the addresses of other interfaces.
The following experiment:
Requirements:
1. Use the OSPF routing protocol to achieve network-wide interconnection.
2. Port S4/0 on the device RSR20-B borrow the IP address of port F0/1 on it.
3. Allow all Intranet users to access pc4.

Summary:
The borrow IP address cannot be an Ethernet interface because it is not supported. You only need to configure an ip unnumbered command on the borrower's port to implement the port borrow function. In addition, we can use the show ip interface brief command to check whether the borrow is successful. When the ip address of the S4/0 interface is 192.168.1.2, it indicates that the borrow is successful. Otherwise, the borrow fails.
