.. _ethernet-interface: Ethernet -------- Ethernet interfaces allow for the configuration of speed, duplex, and hw-id (MAC address). Below is an example configuration: .. code-block:: none set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '192.168.0.1/24' set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '2001:db8:1::ffff/64' set interfaces ethernet eth1 description 'INSIDE' set interfaces ethernet eth1 duplex 'auto' set interfaces ethernet eth1 speed 'auto' Resulting in: .. code-block:: none ethernet eth1 { address 192.168.0.1/24 address 2001:db8:1::ffff/64 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`` * ``show interfaces ethernet statistics`` Statistics available are driver dependent. .. code-block:: none 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 [...]
