Configuring a VSI interface
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter VSI interface view. | interface vsi-interface vsi-interface-id | N/A |
3. Assign a MAC address to the VSI interface. | mac-address mac-address | By default, all VSI interfaces on a device use a fixed MAC address. The MAC addresses of VSI interfaces on different devices are different. |
4. Configure the description of the VSI interface. | description text | The default description of a VSI interface is interface-name plus Interface (for example, Vsi-interface100 Interface). |
5. Set the MTU for the VSI interface. | mtu mtu-value | The default MTU of a VSI interface is 1444 bytes. Make sure the MTU is a minimum of 36 bytes less than the MTU of the physical outgoing interface. |
6. Set the expected bandwidth for the VSI interface. | bandwidth bandwidth-value | The default expected bandwidth (in kbps) equals the interface baud rate divided by 1000. |
7. Restore the default settings on the interface. | default | N/A |
8. Set an ARP packet sending rate limit for the VSI interface. | arp send-rate pps | By default, the ARP packet sending rate is not limited for a VSI interface. |
9. Bring up the interface. | undo shutdown | By default, a VSI interface is not manually shut down. |
