interface (Ethernet interface)

Function

The interface command displays the specified interface view or sub-interface view.

The undo interface command deletes a sub-interface.

Format

interface { ethernet | gigabitethernet | multige | xgigabitethernet | 25ge | 40ge | 100ge } interface-number[.subinterface-number ] [ mode l2 ]

undo interface { ethernet | gigabitethernet | multige | xgigabitethernet | 25ge | 40ge | 100ge } interface-number[.subinterface-number ]

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
ethernet	Displays the view of an FE interface.	-
gigabitethernet	Displays the view of a GE interface.	-
multige	Displays the view of a MultiGE interface. NOTE: Only the S5732-H24UM2CC, S5732-H48UM2CC, S6720-32C-SI-AC, S6720-32C-SI-DC, S6720-32C-PWH-SI-AC, S6720-52X-PWH-SI, S6720-56C-PWH-SI-AC, S6720-56C-PWH-SI, and S6720-32C-PWH-SI support MultiGE interfaces.	-
xgigabitethernet	Displays the view of an XGE interface.	-
25ge	Displays the view of a 25GE interface.	-
40ge	Displays the view of a 40GE interface.	-
100ge	Displays the view of a 100GE interface.	-
interface-number	Specifies the number of an interface.	The value depends on the interface type and slot ID.
subinterface-number	Specifies the number of a sub-interface.	The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 4096.
mode l2	Configures a sub-interface to work in Layer 2 mode for the VXLAN service. NOTE: Only the S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-H, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6720-EI, S6720-HI, S6720S-EI, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, and S6730S-S support this parameter.	-

Usage Guidelines

After entering the specified Ethernet interface view, you can set attributes for the Ethernet interface.

Only the S5720-EI, S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-H, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6720-EI, S6720-HI, S6720S-EI, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, and S6730S-S support Ethernet sub-interfaces.
Only hybrid and trunk interfaces on the preceding switches support Ethernet sub-interface configuration.
After you run the undo portswitch command to switch Layer 2 interfaces on the preceding series of switches into Layer 3 interfaces, you can configure Ethernet sub-interfaces on the interfaces.
After an interface is added to an Eth-Trunk, sub-interfaces cannot be configured on the interface.
VLAN termination sub-interfaces cannot be created on a VCMP client.

Example

# Enter the view of GE0/0/1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/1]
