efm interleave
This command sets the interleave parameters for the selected VDSL port.
Syntax 
efm interleave [downstream M value] [upstream M value]  
[downstream I value] [upstream I value]
no efm interleave 
• M value – M is the interleaving depth index; Range: 0-64
• I value – I is the interleaving block length; Range: 4 or 8
Default Setting 
• M – The interleaving depth index.
Upstream default value: 8, Downstream default value: 16
• I – The interleaving block length.
Upstream default value: 8, Downstream default value: 8

Command Usage 
Interleaving improves Reed Solomon error correction when there is pulse 
noise. A greater degree of interleaving will provide more protection against 
pulse noise but will increase transmission delay and reduce the effective 
bandwidth of the link. The degree of interleaving can be increased by 
increasing M or I.
Example
The following example configures VDSL port 1 with –
• M - downstream value: 16, Upstream value: 8
•  I - downstream value: 8, Upstream value: 8
