Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 10.2 for J-EX Series switches.
Specify the type of interface.
By default, the software chooses the correct interface type based on the type of physical
interface. Therefore, you should never have to set the interface type. The exception to
this is for NBMA interfaces, which default to an interface type of point-to-multipoint. To
have these interfaces explicitly run in NBMA mode, configure the
using the IP address of the local ATM interface.
A point-to-point interface can be an Ethernet interface without a subnet. For more
information about configuring interfaces, see the Junos OS Network Interfaces Configuration
Guide.
The software chooses the correct interface type based on the type of physical interface.
