The network-interface element creates and configures a logical network interface.

Parameters

name
Enter the name of the physical interface with which this network-interface element is linked. Network-interface elements that correspond to phy-interface elements with an operation type of Control or Maintenance must start with “wancom.”
sub-port-id
Enter the identification of a specific virtual interface in a physical interface (e.g., a VLAN tag). A value of 0 indicates that this element is not using a virtual interface. The sub-port-id field value is only required if the operation type is Media.
  • Default: 0
  • Values: Min: 0 | Max: 4095
description
Enter a brief description of this network interface
hostname
Enter the hostname of this network interface. This is an optional entry that must follow FQDN Format or IP Address Format.
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
ip-address
Enter the IP address of this network interface. This is a required entry that must follow the IP Address Format.
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
pri-utility-addr
Enter the utility IP address for the primary HA peer in an HA architecture
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
sec-utility-addr
Enter the utility IP address for the secondary Oracle Communications Session Border Controller peer in an HA architecture
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
netmask
Enter the netmask portion of the IP address for this network interface entered in IP address format. The network-interface element will not function properly unless this field value is valid.
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
gateway
Enter the gateway this network interface uses to forward packets. Entries in this field must follow the IP Address Format. No packets are forwarded if this value is 0.0.0.0.
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
sec-gateway
Enter the gateway to use on the secondary Oracle Communications Session Border Controller in an HA pair. Entries in this field must follow the IP address format.
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
gw-heartbeat
Access the gateway-heartbeat subelement
dns-ip-primary
Enter the IP address of the primary DNS to be used for this interface
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
dns-ip-backup1
Enter the IP address of the first backup DNS to be used for this interface
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
dns-ip-backup2
Enter the IP address of the second backup DNS to be used for this interface
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
dns-domain
Set the default domain name used to populate incomplete hostnames that do not include a domain. Entries must follow the Name Format.
dns-timeout
Enter the total time in seconds you want to elapse before a query (and its retransmissions) sent to a DNS server timeout
  • Default: 11
  • Values: Min: 1/ Max: 999999999
dns-max-ttl
Specifies the maximum DNS time to live value for this network interface.
  • Default: 86400 seconds (24 hours)
  • minimum: 30
  • maximum: 2073600
add-hip-ip
Enter a list of IP addresses allowed to access signaling and maintenance protocol stacks via this front interface using the HIP feature
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
remove-hip-ip
Remove an IP address added using the add-hip-ip parameter
add-ftp-ip
This parameter has been deprecated
remove-ftp-ip
This parameter has been deprecated
add-icmp-ip
Enter a list of IP addresses from which ICMP traffic can be received and acted upon by a front media interface
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
remove-icmp-ip
Remove an IP address added using the add-icmp-ip parameter
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
add-snmp-ip
Enter a list of IP addresses from which SNMP traffic can be received and acted upon by a front media interface
remove-snmp-ip
Remove an IP address added using the add-snmp-ip parameter
add-telnet-ip
This parameter has been deprecated
remove-telnet-ip
This parameter has been deprecated
add-ssh-ip
Enter a list of IP addresses from which SSH traffic can be received and acted upon by a front media interface.
  • Default: None
  • Values: A valid IPv4 network address
signaling-mtu
MTU size for packets leaving this interface.
  • Default: 0 - When the default value is zero, the network-interface inherits this value from the system configuration (ipv6-signaling-mtu and ipv4-signaling-mtu).
  • Values:
    • IPv4: <0, 576-4096>
    • IPv6: <0, 1280-4096

Path

The full path from the topmost ACLI prompt is: configure terminal , and then system , and then network-interface

Note:

This is a multiple instance configuration subelement.

Note:

The network-interface element is not RTC supported. You must reboot the system after configuration changes to this element.
