Network Interfaces

Configured interfaces on a VyOS system can be displayed using the
``show interfaces`` command.

.. code-block:: none

  vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces
  Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down
  Interface        IP Address                        S/L  Description
  ---------        ----------                        ---  -----------

  eth1             192.168.0.1/24                    u/u  INSIDE
  lo               127.0.0.1/8                       u/u
                   ::1/128

A specific interface can be shown using the ``show interfaces <type> <name>``
command.

.. code-block:: none

  vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth0

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.
