You must enter the ip vrf forwarding command before you configure the IP address or any other
setting on an interface.
NOTE: You can configure an IP address or subnet on a physical or VLAN interface that overlaps the
same IP address or subnet configured on another interface only if the interfaces are assigned to
different VRFs. If two interfaces are assigned to the same VRF, you cannot configure overlapping IP
subnets or the same IP address on them.
