interface virtual-ethernet
Function
The interface virtual-ethernet command displays the view of an existing virtual Ethernet (VE) interface, or creates a VE interface and displays the VE interface view.
The undo interface virtual-ethernet command deletes a VE interface.
By default, no VE interface is created.
Only the S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-H, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6720-HI, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, and S6730S-S support this command.
Format
interface virtual-ethernet ve-number[.subnumber ]
undo interface virtual-ethernet ve-number [.subnumber ]
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
ve-number |
Specifies the number of a VE interface. The value is in the format of 0/0/sequence number. |
The sequence number is an integer that ranges from 0 to 511. |
subnumber |
Specifies the number of a VE sub-interface. |
The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 1024. |
Usage Guidelines
A VE interface is a logical interface with Ethernet features on a switch. VE interfaces are mainly used in scenarios where Ethernet over GRE is configured or an L2VPN accesses to an L3VPN. You need to create a VE sub-interface when configuring an L2VPN to access to an L3VPN.
Example
# Create VE interface 0//0/1.
<HUAWEI> system-view [HUAWEI] interface virtual-ethernet 0/0/1 [HUAWEI-Virtual-Ethernet0/0/1]
# Create VE sub-interface VE0/0/1.1.
<HUAWEI> system-view [HUAWEI] interface virtual-ethernet 0/0/1 [HUAWEI-Virtual-Ethernet0/0/1] ve-group 1 l3-access [HUAWEI-Virtual-Ethernet0/0/1] quit [HUAWEI] interface virtual-ethernet 0/0/1.1 [HUAWEI-Virtual-Ethernet0/0/1.1]
