This section provides the physical and logical interfaces supported by the NetEngine 8000 F and describes the interface views and prompts and common link protocols and access technologies.
The physical link detection function helps reduce the number of alarms generated on links and avoid system performance degradation caused by plenty of alarms that would be otherwise generated.
If the MAC accounting function is enabled on an interface of a device, the device collects IPv4 or IPv6 traffic statistics corresponding to MAC addresses learned by the interface.
You can enable the alarm standardization function for an optical module to prevent the optical module from reporting alarms when its optical power exceeds the threshold.
You can disable the alarm function for an optical module to prevent the optical module from reporting alarms when its optical power exceeds the threshold.
To manage non-Huawei-certified optical modules, you can suppress the alarms for non-Huawei-certified optical modules and enable the function of setting interfaces with the optical modules inserted to Down.
This section describes how to configure logical interfaces. Logical interfaces are manually configured interfaces, which are used to exchange data. Logical interfaces do not exist physically.
FlexE interfaces refer to FlexE clients, which correspond to various externally observed user interfaces on networks. Each FlexE client can be flexibly allocated bandwidth from a group resource pool, and the bandwidth can be adjusted. In VS mode, this feature is supported only by the admin VS.
You can configure an interface monitoring group in a dual-device backup scenario to allow the user-side interface status to change with the network-side interface status so that traffic can be switched between the master and backup links.
