<interface-name> | Interface name: lo, aux, lan0_0, wan0_0, primary, in-path0_0. The interface name varies according to the Riverbed product you are configuring. For example, for the SteelCentral Controller for SteelHead Mobile the interface options are: primary, aux, 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 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. • dhcp dynamic-dns - Enables DHCP hostname registration with dynamic DNS. This option is not available on the SteelCentral Controller for SteelHead Mobile. • duplex <speed> - Specifies the duplex speed: auto, full, 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. To set an IPv6 address 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. • speed <speed> - Specifies the speed for the interface: auto, 10, 100, 1000. The default value is 100. |
<options> (cont) | • fail-to-bypass enable - Disables fail-to-block (disconnect) mode. The no interface <interface> fail-to-bypass enable command enables fail-to-block mode. This option is not available on the SteelCentral Controller for SteelHead Mobile. In fail-to-block mode, if the SteelHead has an internal software failure or power loss, the SteelHead LAN and WAN interfaces power down and stop bridging traffic. This feature is only useful if the network has a routing or switching infrastructure that can automatically divert traffic off of the link once the failed SteelHead blocks it. For details about which NICs support fail-to-block, see the Network Interface Card Installation Guide. |
To enable fail-to-block mode enable configure terminal no interface inpath0_0 fail-to-bypass enable write memory To change from fail-to-block mode back to fail-to-wire mode enable configure terminal interface inpath0_0 fail-to-bypass enable write memory Fail-to-wire (or bypass) mode allows the SteelHead WAN and LAN ports to serve as an Ethernet crossover cable. In fail-to-wire mode, SteelHeads cannot view or optimize traffic. Instead, all traffic is passed through the SteelHead unoptimized. All SteelHead in-path interfaces support fail-to-wire mode. Fail-to-wire mode is the default setting for SteelHeads. For details about enabling and disabling fail-to-block, see the SteelHead Deployment Guide. |
