When you use commands with a physical interface as a parameter, you have
the option to use either the simple name or the fully qualified name of the
interface.
For examples of valid simple names and the equivalent fully qualified names
see the Interfaces chapter in the Software Reference.
To display a summary of all the interfaces on the router, enter the command:
SHOW INTERFACE
Ethernet Ports
An Ethernet interface on the router is automatically configured by the software
modules when the router starts up. No user configuration of the Ethernet
interfaces is required, except to enable other software modules to use the
interface. This is achieved by adding a software module interface and using the
clause INTERFACE=ethn
,
where n is the number of the Ethernet interface
being configured
.
For example, to add a logical interface to the IP module,
enter the command:
ADD IP INTERFACE=eth0 IPADDRESS={ipadd|DHCP}
To display the modules in the router that are configured to use an Ethernet
interface, and the encapsulations used on an interface, enter the command:
SHOW ETH=n CONFIGURATION
where n is the number of the Ethernet interface.
For more information about Ethernet interfaces and encapsulations, see the
Interfaces chapter in the Software Reference.
