Network Interfaces ================== Configured interfaces on a VyOS system can be displayed using the `show interfaces` command. .. code-block:: sh vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down Interface IP Address S/L Description --------- ---------- --- ----------- eth0 172.16.51.129/24 u/u OUTSIDE eth1 192.168.0.1/24 u/u INSIDE lo 127.0.0.1/8 u/u ::1/128 vyos@vyos:~$ A specific interface can be shown using the `show interfaces ` command. .. code-block:: sh vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth0 eth0: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0c:29:44:3b:0f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 172.16.51.129/24 brd 172.16.51.255 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:fe44:3b0f/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Description: OUTSIDE RX: bytes packets errors dropped overrun mcast 274397 3064 0 0 0 0 TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collisions 257276 1890 0 0 0 0 vyos@vyos:~$ Each interface can be configured with a description and address. .. code-block:: sh set interfaces ethernet eth0 description 'OUTSIDE' set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 'dhcp' Different network interfaces provide type-specific configuration. Ethernet interfaces, for example, allow the configuration of speed and duplex. Many services, such as network routing, firewall, and traffic policy also maintain interface-specific configuration. These will be covered in their respective sections. Ethernet Interfaces ------------------- Ethernet interfaces allow for the configuration of speed, duplex, and hw-id (MAC address). Below is an example configuration: .. code-block:: sh set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '192.168.0.1/24' set interfaces ethernet eth1 description 'INSIDE' set interfaces ethernet eth1 duplex 'auto' set interfaces ethernet eth1 speed 'auto' Resulting in: .. code-block:: sh ethernet eth1 { address 192.168.0.1/24 description INSIDE duplex auto hw-id 00:0c:29:44:3b:19 smp_affinity auto speed auto } In addition, Ethernet interfaces provide the extended operational commands `show interfaces ethernet physical` and `show interfaces ethernet statistics`. Statistics available are driver dependent. .. code-block:: sh vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth0 physical Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: d Wake-on: d Current message level: 0x00000007 (7) Link detected: yes driver: e1000 version: 7.3.21-k8-NAPI firmware-version: bus-info: 0000:02:01.0 vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth0 statistics NIC statistics: rx_packets: 3530 tx_packets: 2179 [...] VLAN Sub-Interfaces (802.1Q) ---------------------------- 802.1Q VLAN interfaces are represented as virtual sub-interfaces in VyOS. The term used for this is `vif`. Configuration of a tagged sub-interface is accomplished using the configuration command `set interfaces ethernet vif `. .. code-block:: sh set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 description 'VLAN 100' set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 address '192.168.100.1/24' Resulting in: .. code-block:: sh ethernet eth1 { address 192.168.0.1/24 description INSIDE duplex auto hw-id 00:0c:29:44:3b:19 smp_affinity auto speed auto vif 100 { address 192.168.100.1/24 description "VLAN 100" } } VLAN interfaces are shown as ., e.g. eth1.100: .. code-block:: sh vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down Interface IP Address S/L Description --------- ---------- --- ----------- eth0 172.16.51.129/24 u/u OUTSIDE eth1 192.168.0.1/24 u/u INSIDE eth1.100 192.168.100.1/24 u/u VLAN 100 lo 127.0.0.1/8 u/u ::1/128 Bridging -------- Interfaces in VyOS can be bridged together to provide software switching of Layer-2 traffic. A bridge is created when a bridge interface is defined. In the example below we will be creating a bridge for VLAN 100 and assigning a VIF to the bridge. .. code-block:: sh set interfaces bridge 'br100' set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 bridge-group bridge br100 Interfaces assigned to a bridge-group do not have address configuration. An IP address can be assigned to the bridge interface itself, however, like any normal interface. .. code-block:: sh set interfaces bridge br100 address '192.168.100.1/24' Example Result: .. code-block:: sh bridge br100 { address 192.168.100.1/24 } [...] ethernet eth1 { [...] vif 100 { bridge-group { bridge br100 } } } In addition to normal IP interface configuration, bridge interfaces support Spanning-Tree Protocol. STP is disabled by default. **NOTE:** Please use caution when introducing spanning-tree protocol on a network as it may result in topology changes. To enable spanning-tree use the `set interfaces bridge stp true` command: .. code-block:: sh set interfaces bridge br100 stp true STP `priority`, `forwarding-delay`, `hello-time`, and `max-age` can be configured for the bridge-group. The MAC aging time can also be configured using the `aging` directive. For member interfaces, the bridge-group `priority` and `cost` can be configured. The `show bridge` operational command can be used to display configured bridges: .. code-block:: sh vyos@vyos:~$ show bridge bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br100 0000.000c29443b19 yes eth1.100 If spanning-tree is enabled, the `show bridge spanning-tree` command can be used to show STP configuration: .. code-block:: sh vyos@vyos:~$ show bridge br100 spanning-tree br100 bridge id 0000.000c29443b19 designated root 0000.000c29443b19 root port 0 path cost 0 max age 20.00 bridge max age 20.00 hello time 2.00 bridge hello time 2.00 forward delay 15.00 bridge forward delay 15.00 ageing time 300.00 hello timer 0.47 tcn timer 0.00 topology change timer 0.00 gc timer 64.63 flags eth1.100 (1) port id 8001 state forwarding designated root 0000.000c29443b19 path cost 4 designated bridge 0000.000c29443b19 message age timer 0.00 designated port 8001 forward delay timer 0.00 designated cost 0 hold timer 0.00 flags The MAC address-table for a bridge can be displayed using the `show bridge macs` command: .. code-block:: sh vyos@vyos:~$ show bridge br100 macs port no mac addr is local? ageing timer 1 00:0c:29:44:3b:19 yes 0.00 Bonding ------- You can combine (aggregate) 2 or more physical interfaces into a single logical one. It's called bonding, or LAG, or ether-channel, or port-channel. Create interface bondX, where X is just a number: .. code-block:: sh set interfaces bonding bond0 description 'my-sw1 int 23 and 24' You are able to choose a hash policy: .. code-block:: sh vyos@vyos# set interfaces bonding bond0 hash-policy Possible completions: layer2 use MAC addresses to generate the hash (802.3ad) layer2+3 combine MAC address and IP address to make hash layer3+4 combine IP address and port to make hash For example: .. code-block:: sh set interfaces bonding bond0 hash-policy 'layer2' You may want to set IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation (802.3ad) AKA LACP (don't forget to setup it on the other end of these links): .. code-block:: sh set interfaces bonding bond0 mode '802.3ad' or some other modes: .. code-block:: sh vyos@vyos# set interfaces bonding bond0 mode Possible completions: 802.3ad IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation (Default) active-backup Fault tolerant: only one slave in the bond is active broadcast Fault tolerant: transmits everything on all slave interfaces round-robin Load balance: transmit packets in sequential order transmit-load-balance Load balance: adapts based on transmit load and speed adaptive-load-balance Load balance: adapts based on transmit and receive plus ARP xor-hash Load balance: distribute based on MAC address Now bond some physical interfaces into bond0: .. code-block:: sh set interfaces ethernet eth0 bond-group 'bond0' set interfaces ethernet eth0 description 'member of bond0' set interfaces ethernet eth1 bond-group 'bond0' set interfaces ethernet eth1 description 'member of bond0' After a commit you may treat bond0 as almost a physical interface (you can't change its` duplex, for example) and assign IPs or VIFs on it. You may check the result: .. code-block:: sh vyos@vyos# run sh interfaces bonding Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down Interface IP Address S/L Description --------- ---------- --- ----------- bond0 - u/u my-sw1 int 23 and 24 bond0.10 192.168.0.1/24 u/u office-net bond0.100 10.10.10.1/24 u/u management-net Tunnel Interfaces ----------------- Set Virtual Tunnel interface .. code-block:: sh set interfaces vti vti0 address 192.168.2.249/30 Results in: .. code-block:: sh vyos@vyos# show interfaces vti vti vti0 { address 192.168.2.249/30 description "Description" }
