network interface

Access sub-commands that allow you to configure the appliance network interface ports.

NOTE   If the network service has been stopped using the service stop network command, all network commands will fail.

Syntax

network interface

bonding
delete
dhcp
slaac
speed
static

Argument(s) Shortcut Description
bonding b Configure the network interface port bonding. See network interface bonding.
delete del Delete the network configuration for a network interface port. See network interface delete.
dhcp dh Set dynamic IP configuration. See network interface dhcp.
slaac sl Set SLAAC IPv6 Configuration. See network interface slaac.
speed sp Set the speed/duplex mode on a network interface. See network interface speed.
static st

Set static IP configuration. See network interface static. This is the default. If you do not specify an interface type, static is assumed.

 

network interface -device <netdevice> -ip <IP_address> -netmask <IP_or_prefixlength> [-gateway <IP_address>] [-ipv6] [-force]

Argument(s) Shortcut Description
-device <netdevice> -d

Specifies the network device you want to configure.

Valid values: eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3

-force -f Force the action without prompting.
-gateway <IP_address> -g

Specifies the address of the network gateway.

>If you are configuring an IPv4 address, you must provide an IPv4 address for the gateway.

> If you are configuring an IPv6 address, you must provide an IPv6 address for the gateway.

-ip <IP_address> -i

Specifies the IP address you want to assign to the device.

You can specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address. If you are configuring an IPv6 address, you must also include the -ipv6 flag in the command.

When entering an IPv6 address, you can use full or shorthand syntax. For example, the following notations are equivalent:

>2001:0db3:8ba3:0000:0000:8a5e:03f0:7384

>2001:db3:8ba3::8a5e:3f0:7384

-ipv6 -ipv

Specifies that the address specified using the -ip parameter is an IPv6 address.

-netmask <IP_or_prefixlength> -n

Specifies the network mask for the interface.

> If you are configuring an IPv4 address, you must specify the network mask in dotted-decimal format (for example, 255.255.255.0)

> If you are configuring an IPv6 address, you must specify the prefix length (for example, 64).
