Ethernet Interfaces
-------------------
.. _interfaces-ethernet:

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 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:: sh

  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 <name> physical`
* `show interfaces ethernet <name> statistics` 

Statistics available are driver dependent.

.. code-block:: sh

  vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth0 physical
