To enable the interface lan:

Device:/> set EthernetDevice lan -enable

To set the driver on an Ethernet interface card the command is:

Device:/> set EthernetDevice lan EthernetDriver=

PCIBus= PCISlot= PCIPort=

For example, if the driver name is IXP4NPEEthernetDriver for the bus, slot, port combination 0, 0, 2
on the wan interface, the set command would be:

Device:/> set EthernetDevice lan

EthernetDriver=IXP4NPEEthernetDriver
PCIBus=0
PCISlot=0
PCIPort=2

This command is useful when a restored configuration contains interface names that do not
match the interface names of new hardware. By assigning the values for bus, slot, port and driver
of a physical interface to a logical interface in the configuration, the logical interface is mapped
to the physical interface. However, this mapping must be done before the configuration is
activated.

For a complete list of all CLI options see the CLI Reference Guide.
