Table 106: Interface Properties Configuration Details

Task
Configure Interfaces.
When an interface changes from being up to being down, or from down to up, this
transition is advertised immediately to the hardware and the JUNOS Software. In some
situations you might want to damp interface transitions. This means not advertising the
interface's transition until a certain period of time called the hold time has passed. When
you have damped interface transitions and the interface goes from up to down, the
interface is not advertised to the rest of the system as being down until it has remained
down for the hold-time period. Similarly when an interface goes from down to up, it is
not advertised as being up until it has remained up for the hold-time period.
To configure hold time value to use to damp interface transitions:
Your Action
1. Click Add Interface next to Interface.
2. In the Add Interface Dialog box, enter the interface name.
3. From the Name list, select the interface name.
4. In the Comment box, enter the comment.
5. In the Description box, enter the text to describe the interface.
If the text includes spaces, enclose the entire text in quotation
marks.
6. From the Accounting Profile list, select the name of the
accounting profile.
7. Select per-unit-scheduler to enable association of scheduler
map names with logical interfaces.
8. Select Hierarchical-scheduler to enable the use of
hierarchical scheduler.
9. From the Native Vlan Id list, select the VLAN ID number.
10. From the Speed list, select the speed.
11. From the Mtu list, select the maximum transmission unit
(MTU) size for the media or protocol.
12. From the Encapsulation list, select the encapsulation type.
13. In the Bandwidth box, enter the peak rate.
14. Select one of the following:
traps—To enable the sending of Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications when the state
of the connection changes.
no-traps—To disable the sending of Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications when the state
