interface
Configures system interfaces.
Syntax
[no] interface <interface-name> <options>
Parameters
<interface-name>
Interface name: lo, aux, lan0_0, wan0_0, primary, or in-path0_0. The interface name varies according to the Riverbed product you are configuring. For example, for the Client Accelerator the interface options are primary, aux, and lo. For details, see the CLI online help.
<options>
Each interface has the following configuration options:
• arp—Adds static entries to the ARP cache.
• description—Configure the description string of this interface.
• dhcp—Enables DHCP on the interface.
• dhcpv6—Enables DHCPv6 on the interface.
• dhcp renew—Enables DHCP on the interface or renews DHCP. Setting DHCP on the auxiliary interface only provides an IP lease, and does not update the gateway, routes, and DNS settings.
• dhcpv6 renew—Enables DHCPv6 on the interface or renews DHCPv6. Setting DHCPv6 on the auxiliary interface only provides an IP lease, and does not update the gateway, routes, and DNS settings.
• dhcp dynamic-dns—Enables DHCP hostname registration with dynamic DNS. This option is not available on the Client Accelerator.
• dhcpv6 dynamic-dns—Enables DHCPv6 hostname registration with dynamic DNS. This option is not available on the Client Accelerator.
• duplex <speed>—Specifies the duplex speed: auto, full, or half. The default value is auto.
• ip address <ip-address> <netmask>—Specifies the IP address and netmask for the interface.
• ipv6 address <ipv6-address> <prefix-length>—Specifies the IPv6 address and prefix length for the interface. Your SteelHead can have both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address. You can only configure one IPv6 address per in-path interface. For example:
amnesiac (config) # interface primary ipv6 address 2001:38dc:52::e9a4:c5:6282 64
• mtu <speed>—Specifies the MTU. The MTU is set once on the in-path interface; it propagates automatically to the LAN and the WAN. The no command option disables the MTU setting. The default value is 1500.
• public-ip <address> [port <port>]—Specifies the public IP address and optionally the port number.
You can use this option to configure multiple public IP addresses and ports on a single in-path interface. Secure transport uses this configuration to reach public uplinks through SteelHead in-path interfaces. The default port for the public IP address is 4500.
• shutdown—Shuts down the interface.
• slaac—Enables IPv6 Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC) addressing.
The existing auto-assigned IPv6 address won’t be deleted by disabling this feature. To delete the auto-assigned IPv6 address, disable SLAAC using the no command option, shut down the interface and then reenable it. These settings are not persistent and may revert to their default after a system reboot.
• speed <speed>—Specifies the speed for the interface: auto, 10, 100, or 1000. The default value is 100.
Usage
The no command option disables the interface settings.
The no interface <inpath-interface> public-ip command option clears all public IP addresses on the specified in-path interface.
Example
amnesiac (config) # no interface inpath0_0 fail-to-bypass enable
amnesiac (config) # interface inpath0_0 public-ip 10.5.5.5
