Description
This command lets you modify the settings of an interface that belongs to an existing Virtual Device object:
Note - You cannot change or remove the IP address or netmask of an existing interface with this command. You can remove the interface and add a new interface with a different IP address, but not all the previous interface settings will be kept.
Syntax
set interface vd <Device Object Name> {name <Interface> [new_name <Interface>] | leads_to <VSW or VR Object Name> [new_leads_to <VSW or VR Object Name>]} [propagate {true|false}] [propagate6 {true|false}] [topology {external | internal_undefined | internal_this_network | internal_specific [specific_group <Network Group Object Name>>]}] [mtu <MTU>] |
Parameters

Value |
Notes |
---|---|---|
|
Object name |
Specifies the name of the Virtual Device object. Mandatory parameter, if this is the first command in a transaction. |
|
Interface name |
Specifies the name of the physical or VLAN interface. Note - You must use |
|
Interface name |
You can change the name, but not the type of interface. Note - You can change a VLAN or physical interface only to a VLAN or physical interface. |
|
Object name |
Specifies the name of the Virtual Switch or Virtual Router object, to which this interface connects. Applicable only for Virtual System. Note - You must use |
new_leads_to <VSW or VR Object Name> |
Object name |
You can where the interface leads:
|
|
|
Controls how to propagate the IPv4 routes to adjacent Virtual Devices:
Note - Applicable only for Virtual System with VLAN or physical interfaces. |
|
|
Controls how to propagate the IPv6 routes to adjacent Virtual Devices:
Note - Applicable only for Virtual System with VLAN or physical interfaces. |
|
|
Specifies the Topology configuration of the interface:
Applicable only for:
|
|
Name of Network Group Object |
If you used Applicable only if you disable the automatic topology calculation. |
|
Integer |
Specifies the MTU value for this interface. Default is 1500 bytes. Applicable only for:
|
Example - On a Virtual System VS1, change the VLAN interface eth4.10 to the physical interface eth5
vsx_provisioning_tool –s localhost –u admin –p mypassword –o set interface vd VS1 name eth4.100 new_name eth5 propagate true topology internal_specific specific_group NYGWs |
