Why do you *want* to configure both? 1 is supposed to be used for an L3 box (router), 2 is supposed to be used for an L2 box (switch). > Also why would configuring a couple of static routes with the next hop being > an interface name not an ip address cause high CPU ? If the interface in question is a broadcast medium (Ethernet), the router doesn't know the next-hop address, resulting in a high rate of ARPs. This has been dicussed on the list many times before, and the advice is simple: Don't do it!
