Network interface configuration

Overview

The network interface represents a virtual router interface in the system. This virtual router interface is defined on a network port. While the physical connection of one device to another is through a port or channel linked by physical wire, it is the network interface that determines the IP connectivity.

The XML API uses the rtr package to configure router details. The rtr.NetworkInterface class is created and configured under the parent where the FDN is network:${systemAddress}:router-${*routingInstanceId}:ip-interface-${*id}. It can also include the following parameters:

See the XML API Reference for more information about all of the parameters that can be configured on the classes from rtr package.
