vd <Device Object Name>

Object name

Specifies the name of the Virtual Device object.

Mandatory parameter, if this is the first command in a transaction.

name <Interface>

Interface name

Specifies the name of the physical or VLAN interface.

Note - You must use name or leads_to parameter, but not both.

leads_to <VSW or VR Object Name>

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 name or leads_to parameter, but not both.

ip <IPv4 Address>{/<IPv4 Prefix> | netmask <IPv4 Netmask> | prefix <IPv4 Prefix>}

IPv4 configuration

Specifies the IPv4 settings:

• <IPv4 Address> - IPv4 address
• <IPv4 Prefix> - Integer between 1 and 32
• <IPv4 Netmask> - Number in a format X.X.X.X

Applicable only for:

• Virtual System
• Virtual Router

For interfaces on a Virtual System that connect to a Virtual Router, you must use the possible maximum for the IPv4 address family:

• Netmask 255.255.255.255
• Prefix 32

ip6 <IPv6 Address>{/<IPv6 Prefix> | netmask6 <IPv6 Netmask> | prefix6 <IPv6 Prefix>}

IPv6 configuration

Specifies the IPv6 settings:

• <IPv6 Address> - IPv6 address
• <IPv6 Prefix> - Integer between 64 and 128
• <IPv6 Netmask> - Number in a format XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX

Applicable only for:

• Virtual System
• Virtual Router

For interfaces on a Virtual System that connect to a Virtual Router, you must use the possible maximum for the IPv6 address family:

• Netmask FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF
• Prefix 128

propagate {true | false}

• true
• false

Controls how to propagate the IPv4 routes to adjacent Virtual Devices:

• true - Propagate the IPv4 routes
• false - Do not propagate the IPv4 routes (default)

Note - Applicable only for Virtual System with VLAN or physical interfaces.

propagate6 {true | false}

• true
• false

Controls how to propagate the IPv6 routes to adjacent Virtual Devices:

• true - Propagate the IPv6 routes
• false - Do not propagate the IPv6 routes (default)

Note - Applicable only for Virtual System with VLAN or physical interfaces.

topology {external | internal_undefined | internal_this_network | internal_specific }

• external
• internal_undefined
• internal_this_network
• internal_specific

Specifies the Topology configuration of the interface:

• external - External interface.
• internal_undefined - Internal interface with undefined topology. This is the default for Virtual System in Bridge Mode.
• internal_this_network - Internal interface. This is the default for Virtual System and Virtual Router. Virtual System in Bridge Mode does not support this topology.
• internal_specific - Internal interface with topology defined by the specified Network Group object.

Applicable only for:

• Virtual System
• Virtual System in Bridge Mode
• Virtual Router

specific_group <Network Group Object Name>

Name of Network Group Object

If you used topology internal_specific, then specify the name of the Network Group object that contains the applicable Network objects

Applicable only if you disable the automatic topology calculation.

mtu <MTU>

Integer

Specifies the MTU value for this interface.

Default is 1500 bytes.

Applicable only for:

• Virtual System
• Virtual Router
