Parameters
brx : The name of a bridge group. The name ranges from br0
through br999.
interface-name : The name of a data plane interface. Following are
the supported formats of the interface name:
∙
dp x p y p z —The name of a data plane interface, where
— dp x specifies the data plane identifier (ID). Currently,
only dp0 is supported.
— p y specifies a physical or virtual PCI slot index (for
example, p129).
z specifies a port index (for example, p1). For example,
— p
dp0p1p2, dp0p160p1, and dp0p192p1.
∙
dp x em y —The name of a data plane interface on a LAN-
on-motherboard (LOM) device that does not have a PCI
y specifies an embedded network interface
slot, where em
number (typically, a small number). For example,
dp0em3.
∙
x s y —The name of a data plane interface on a device
dp
that is installed on a virtual PCI slot, where
embedded network interface number (typically, a small
number). For example, dp0s2.
∙
x P n p y p z —The name of a data plane interface on a
dp
device that is installed on a secondary PCI bus, where P
specifies the bus number. You can use this format to
name data plane interfaces on large physical devices with
multiple PCI buses. For these devices, it is possible to
have network interface cards installed on different buses
with these cards having the same slot ID. The value of
must be an integer greater than 0. For example,
dp0P1p162p1 and dp0P2p162p1.
interface-name : Refer to the preceding description.
vif-id : A virtual interface ID. The ID ranges from 1 through 4094.
vlan-id : The VLAN ID of a virtual interface. The ID ranges from 1
through 4094.
n : The name of a loopback interface, where n ranges from 1 through
99999.
vtunx : The identifier of an OpenVPN interface. The identifier ranges
x , where x is a nonnegative integer.
from vtun0 through vtun
tunx : The identifier of a tunnel interface you are defining. The
identifier ranges from tun0 through tun
integer.
