Command Reference Guide
Physical Interface Command Sets
The physical interface commands of your unit deal with the medium over which your data is actually
transmitted and the physical hardware associated with your unit. Included in the physical interfaces are
Ethernet cables, serial interfaces, T1 cables, etc. These configurations must be set up to work with the type
of network you have.
The following table describes the physical interface command sets. For a more detailed description of the
physical interface command sets, please refer to

Virtual Interface Command Sets
The virtual interface is similar to the physical interface in function, except that it deals with your virtual
network. In essence, as your physical interfaces deal with your actual physical connections, virtual
interfaces deal with how your information is transmitted over those physical connections. Virtual
interfaces deal with your networking through protocols, such as ATM, Frame Relay, high level data link
control (HDLC), PPP, VLAN, etc. The virtual interface commands allow you to fully integrate your unit
into your existing networking setup.
The following table gives an example of the virtual interface command set. For more information on
virtual interfaces, refer to
