About the Interfaces Tab

Tasks You Can Perform

You can perform the following tasks from this page:

• View the details of interfaces present on the chassis, line cards, FPCs, and PICs. See Table 1.

• Edit interface name, IP address, administration status, and description of an interface:

  Select the interface you want to modify and click the Edit (pencil) icon.

  • To edit the interface name, update the interface name in the Interface Name column.

  • To add or modify IP address of an interface, assign or edit an IPv4 or IPv6 address of the interface in the IPv4 or IPv6 address column.

    The Edit Interface confirmation page appears. Click OK.

  • To edit the administration status, select the Up or Down caret that appears in the Administration Status column.

    Note:

    To modify the administration status from the device CLI, do one of the following:

    • To set the administration status as Up (enable) use set interface interface name enable.

    • To set the administration status as Down (disable) use set interface interface name disable.

  • To edit the description, add or modify the description field that appears in the Description column.

  Click the check mark button that appears below the Description column to save the changes.

• Add a tag—A tag is a label in the key:value format that you add to an interface so that you can group the interface based on its properties or parameters. For example, you can assign a tag interface type:Internet to interfaces that allow connection to the Internet.

  To add one or more tags to an interface:

  1. Click More > Add Tags.

     The Manage Tags page appears.

  2. In the Tags field, either enter a tag or select an existing tag to be applied from the drop-down list that appears.

     If you are entering a value for the tag, ensure that:

     • The key starts with a lowercase letter and is followed by lowercase letters, numbers, or underscores (_), and is between 2 and 50 characters long.

     • The value includes alphanumeric characters, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscores (_), and is between 1 and 200 characters long.

     You can view all the tags applied to an interface in the Tags column.

• Sort, resize, or re-arrange columns in a table (grid).

• Show or hide columns in the table or reset page preferences, using the vertical ellipsis menu.

• Filter the data displayed in the table—Click the filter icon (funnel) and select whether you want to show or hide advanced filters. You can then add or remove filter criteria, save criteria as a filter, apply or clear filters, and so on. The filtered results are displayed on the same page.
