connecting the units of theMINTnetwork using wired interfaces. Also, this interface can be joined with other
interfaces;
"VLAN" can be assigned to a physical interface or to a virtual interface sviX. It is used for the creation of the
logical network topology regardless of the physical topology of this network.VLANallows creating groups of
interfaces which have a common set of requirements. It contributes to reducing the multicast traffic in the
network, as everyVLANis a separate multicast domain.VLANusage increases the network security and
manageability;
"LAG" can be assign to two physical interfaces in order to use them as one logical interface for total
throughput increasing and system reliability improving. The total throughput of the logical channel
represents the sum of the capabilities of associated physical interfaces. In case of failure of any physical
channel included in the logical channel, the system will continue to operate, using the rest operable physical
channels. Interface allows creating high speed links (between the unit and the network switch, for example)
by means of aggregation of the two available Ethernet-interfaces of the unit;
"SVI", Switch Virtual Interface is an L3 interface that can be assigned to a switching group for getting access
to the unit management via this switching group. This interface becomes part of this switching group and
can participate in the exchange of information with other group members so that any packets received by
the group (according to its rules), or addressed to the sviX directly, or copies of multicast/broadcast packets,
will be received by the unit through the "sviX". This interface allows getting the remote access to the unit
management. It is also used for the ManagementVLANconfiguration;
"Tunnel" is implemented like aPtPlink between two routers that encapsulates the flow into theIPpackets
and send it to the end point of the link using the existing transport environment. It allows to unite two
remote networks (which are not directly connected) in an integrated logical structure (VPNs) which use its
own network address allocation and account policies, independent from the ones supplied by the service
providers for each of the separate network segments;
"TAP" interface simulates a link layer (L2) device and operates with Ethernet frames.TAPinterface is used
for creating a network bridge.
Interface type Operations
ethX Configure the IP address(es) and the mask of the interface
The IP address(es) of the "ethX" interface is accessible via Ethernet LAN segment only
(it won't be accessible via the "rfX" interface from other neighbor unit)
The IP address(es) of the "ethX" interface is used in the routing process
Enable/disable the interface
Enable/disable DHCP - obtain an IP address automatically
DHCP option is disabled by default
Set the interface description (up to 72 characters)
Set the interface mode (for example: 1000Base-TX-fullduplex) - the default value is
“Auto” (recommended)
rfX Configure the IP address(es) and the mask of the interface
Enable/disable the interface
Enable/disable DHCP - obtain an IP address automatically
DHCP option is disabled by default
Set the interface description (up to 72 characters)
