Configuring a VE interface
Before you configure IPoEoA and PPPoEoA, you must specify a VE interface.
To configure a VE interface:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Create a VE interface and enter VE interface view. | interface virtual-ethernet interface-number | If the interface already exists, use this command to enter the VE interface view. You can create a maximum of 1024 VE interfaces. |
3. Configure the description for the interface. | description text | By default, the description is in the format of interface-name Interface, for example, Virtual-Ethernet 0 Interface. |
4. Configure the MTU for the interface. | mtu size | By default, the MTU for the interface is 1500 bytes. |
5. Configure the MAC address for the interface. | mac-address mac-address | By default, the VE interface uses the bridge MAC address as its MAC address. |
6. Configure the expected bandwidth for the interface. | bandwidth bandwidth-value | By default, the expected bandwidth (in kbps) is the interface baud rate divided by 1000. |
7. Restore the default settings for the interface. | default | N/A |
8. Shut down the interface. | shutdown | By default, the interface is up. |
To configure a VE subinterface:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Create a VE subinterface and enter VE subinterface view. | interface virtual-ethernet interface-number.subnumber | By default, no VE subinterfaces exist. |
3. Configure the description for the subinterface. | description text | By default, the description is in the format of interface-name Interface. |
4. Configure the MTU for the subinterface. | mtu size | By default, the MTU for the subinterface is 1500 bytes. |
5. Configure the expected bandwidth for the subinterface. | bandwidth bandwidth-value | By default, the expected bandwidth (in kbps) is the subinterface baud rate divided by 1000. |
6. Restore the default settings for the interface. | default | N/A |
7. Shut down the subinterface. | shutdown | By default, the subinterface is up. |
