To configure L3 network interfaces

Purpose

Perform this procedure to re-configure L3 network interfaces created in To create an L3 network interface on a routing instance or to configure interfaces that are associated with a routing instance but not previously configured.

Steps
 

In the navigation tree routing view, expand Network→NE→Routing Instance→Interface type.


Right-click on the interface that you want to configure and choose Properties. The Network Interface (Edit) form opens.


Click on the appropriate tab and configure the parameters as required. Table 27-1, Network interface form tabs describes the tabs you can use to modify an existing routing interface.

Note: The network interface form tabs listed in Table 27-1, Network interface form tabs depend on the device type, device version, and the parameter options that were initially configured for the network interface. If a tab does not apply to the interface type that you are configuring on your device, proceed to the next applicable tab that applies.

Table 27-1: Network interface form tabs

Tab

Description

General

To configure the general parameters associated with the network interface.

Port

To create an association between the network interface and a physical port or channel. The system interface is not associated with a port.

Policies

To assign QoS policies, ingress or egress IP ACL filter policies, and accounting template policies to the network interface.

Protocols

To view a list of protocols that are enabled on the interface, and to apply protocols.

Multicast

To view a list of multicast protocols that are enabled on the interface, and to apply protocols.

Security

To assign a DoS protection policy or DDoS protection policy to a network interface. See DoS protection on L3 network interfaces or DDoS protection on network and access interfaces in this chapter for more information.

BFD

To configure BFD parameters to a network interface.

Addresses

To assign IP addresses, and subnet and broadcast address formats to a network interface.

To assign Track SRRP Instance to IP addresses, if required.

ARP

To configure or view ARP and proxy ARP parameters on the network interface.

ICMP

To configure ICMP parameters on the network interface.

ICMPv6

To configure ICMPv6 parameters on the network interface if IPv6 is enabled.

Neighbor Discovery

To configure neighbor discovery and proxy neighbor discovery for static routes on the network interface.

DHCP

To configure DHCP Relay parameters or select a Python policy.

Local DHCP

To assign local DHCP servers to the network interface.

To associate a local DHCPv6 server, the IPv6 Allowed parameter must be enabled on the General tab.

DHCP Client

To enable DHCP and configure a DHCP client.

Administrative Groups

To assign administrative group policies to a network interface. See To configure an administrative group policy to create an administrative group policy.

Shared Risk Link Groups

To assign shared risk link group policies to a network interface. See To configure a Shared Risk Link Group policy to create a shared risk link group policy.

Network Domain

To add a network domain to a network interface. See To create a network domain to create a network domain.

VRRP

To add a VRRP instance to an existing virtual router that assumes routing responsibilities from a failed router in a statically configured LAN. See To create and configure a VRRP instance to create a VRRP instance.

MEPs

To add network interface facility MEPs to the network interface. Each network interface can support one facility MEP.

Advertisement

To configure router advertisement on the network interface.

NTP

To enable SNTP broadcasts on the network interface.

RCA Result

To view the results of RCA activities on the network interface.

Zone

To assign a 7705 SAR security zone policy to a network interface. See To configure a security zone policy for a 7705 SAR to create a security zone policy.

QoS

To assign an egress network queue policy to a network interface. See To configure a network queue policy or To configure a 7210 and 1830 network queue policy to create a network queue policy.

Deployment

To monitor the deployment status of the interface such as any warnings when a configuration change is not fully deployed to an NE.

Clear Statistics Status

To view the status of all clear requests on the network interface.

RP Statement Actions items

To view the routing policy statement associated with the network interface. See To configure a routing policy statement to create a routing policy statement.

Statistics

To view the statistics associated with the network interface.

TCA

To assign a TCA policy to a network interface. See To configure a TCA policy to create a TCA policy.

Faults

To view alarms that are raised against the network interface, or related alarms that affect the network interface.
