interface add/edit
interface add - Add a new interface on Sensor Control or on remote device
interface edit - Edit an existing interface attributes on Sensor Control or on remote device
Description:
Configure an IP interface for management and network purposes. Interfaces may be configured to query their configuration via a DHCP server or can be manually configured. The network mask can be configured with the IP address using the address prefix length notation or separately using the netmask keyword.
IPv6: Two IPv6 addresses can be configured (0 and 1). This is different from IPv4 aliases as the index is not specified in the interface name but as a parameter of the address. All IPv6 addresses are over the same interface.

Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| name | Name of a Sensor Control interface defined by system user. |
| dhcp | Enable or disable DHCP. |
| dhcp-rt-info | When DHCP is enabled, use the routing information learned via DHCP. When DHCP is disabled, the default route must use this interface. You therefore cannot create a default route on the other local interfaces. (Sensor Control only.) |
| dhcp-static | Use static IP address until an address is resolved through DHCP. (Sensor Control only.) Note: This option can only be used when DHCP is enabled. |
| dhcp-mode | Either respond to unicast or broadcast DHCP packets. (Remote devices only.) |
| address | Static interface IPv4 address. |
| netmask | Interface network mask for static IPv4 address. |
| gateway | A default gateway address provides a shortcut to creating a default gateway through the route configuration. Only one default gateway can be set per unit. |
| icmp_redirect | Enable or disable IPv4 ICMP redirects on the interface. |
| ipv6_enable | Enable or disable IPv6 on the interface. |
| ipv6_dhcp | Enable DHCPv6 in stateful or stateless mode or disable it (used if IPv6 is enabled). |
| ipv6_icmp_redirect | Enable or disable IPv6 ICMP redirects on the interface. |
| ipv6_radv | Enable or disable IPv6 router advertisement autoconfiguration (used if IPv6 is enabled). |
| ipv6_static | Enable or disable IPv6 static addresses (used if IPv6 is enabled). |
| ipv6_address | Static interface IPv6 addresses, with prefix and optional default gateway (used if IPv6 and IPv6 static addresses are enabled). Note: Can be reset by setting the value to ::/0. |
| type | Interface type. |
| vlan1-id | VLAN ID for VLAN interface type (1 - 4094). |
| vlan2-id | VLAN ID used when VLAN-in-VLAN type is chosen (1 - 4094). |
| vlan1-ethertype | EtherType used in the VLAN tag (C-VLAN, S-VLAN or T-VLAN). |
| vlan2-ethertype | EtherType used in the VLAN-in-VLAN tag (C-VLAN, S-VLAN or T-VLAN). |
| vlan1-priority | Set VLAN priority. |
| vlan2-priority | Set VLAN priority in the VLAN-in-VLAN tag. |
| port-name | Name of the port tied to a remote device on which traffic is to be generated. |
| port | Name of the port tied to a remote device on which traffic is to be generated. |
| state | Enable or disable the interface. |
| mngt | Identify the management interface (remote devices only). |
| force | Used to force a change to the interface that the user is currently logged into. (Sensor Control only.) |
interface delete
interface delete - Delete an existing interface
Description:
Delete an existing interface or alias. When deleting the interface, if an alias had been previously configured, it will also be deleted.
Syntax:
interface delete <interface-name>|<alias-name>
<interface-name> <string>
<alias-name> <string>:0
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| interface-name | Name of a Sensor Control interface defined by the system user. |
| alias-name | Name of a Sensor Control alias defined by the system user. |
interface refresh
interface refresh - Send gratuitous ARP on all interfaces
Description:
Convert IP address into physical address for all interfaces.
Syntax:
Convert IP address into physical address for all interfaces.
interface show/ipv6_show
interface show - Show IPv4 interface configuration
interface ipv6_show - Show IPv6 interface configuration
Description:
This command displays a summary of the configuration for all interfaces in a table format. Specifying an interface or alias name will display the detailed configuration for this interface.
Syntax:
interface {show|ipv6_show} [<interface-name>|<alias-name>]
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| <interface-name> | <string> |
| <alias-name> | <string>:0 |
| show | To show interface IPv4 related configurations. |
| ipv6_show | To show interface IPv6 related configurations. Note: Alias name interface should not be used in this case. |
