  • 3:00 – “you cannot have a second address on the interface” Does adding a virtual sub-interface counts as a way to have multiple IP addresses per interface? It looks and feels like a second IP address from the network standpoint as it goes in and out with the same MAC address of your adapter. Please note I’m not suggesting VLAN tagging, and not sure that would work on Windows – but I used this quite a lot ages ago on Linux.
