allocate interface
Use allocate interface to assign physical interfaces to an MDC.
Use undo allocate interface to reclaim physical interfaces assigned to an MDC.
Syntax
allocate interface interface-list
undo allocate interface interface-list
Default
All physical interfaces on the device belong to the default MDC. A non-default MDC cannot use any physical interfaces.
Views

Predefined user roles

Parameters
interface-list: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 24 interfaces. Each item specifies an interface by its type and number or a range of interfaces on the same card in the form of start-interface-type start-interface-name to end-interface-type end-interface-name. The values of the start-interface-type and end-interface-type arguments must be the same.
Usage guidelines
You can use this command multiple times to assign multiple physical interfaces to a non-default MDC.
For more information about interface assignment guidelines, see Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide.
Examples
# Assign GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 through GigabitEthernet 1/0/48 to MDC sub1.
<Sysname> system-view [Sysname] mdc sub1 [Sysname-mdc-2-sub1] allocate interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1 to gigabitethernet 1/0/48 Configuration of the interfaces will be lost. Continue? [Y/N]:y
