Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
Support for OSPFv3 for interface type
cannot configure other interface types for OSPFv3.
Support for OSPFv3 for interface type
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.
In Junos OS Release 9.3 and later, a point-to-point interface can be an Ethernet interface
without a subnet. For more information about configuring interfaces, see the Junos Network
Interfaces Configuration Guide.
The software chooses the correct interface type based on the type of physical interface.
nbma (OSPFv2 only)—Nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) interface.
