.. _dummy-interface:
#####
Dummy
#####
The dummy interface is really a little exotic, but rather useful nevertheless.
Dummy interfaces are much like the :ref:`loopback-interface` interface, except
you can have as many as you want.
.. note:: Dummy interfaces can be used as interfaces that always stay up (in
the same fashion to loopbacks in Cisco IOS), or for testing purposes.
.. hint:: A Dummy interface is always up, thus it could be used for
management traffic or as source/destination for and :abbr:`IGP (Interior
Gateway Protocol)` like :ref:`bgp` so your internal BGP link is not dependant
on physical link states and multiple routes can be choosen to the
destination. A :ref:`dummy-interface` Interface should always be preferred
over a :ref:`loopback-interface` interface.
Configuration
#############
Address
-------
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces dummy <interface> address <address | dhcp | dhcpv6>
Configure dummy interface `<interface>` with one or more interface
addresses. Address can be specified multiple times as IPv4 and/or IPv6
address, e.g. 192.0.2.1/24 and/or 2001:db8::1/64
Example:
.. code-block:: none
set interfaces dummy dum10 address 192.0.2.1/24
set interfaces dummy dum10 address 192.0.2.2/24
set interfaces dummy dum10 address 2001:db8::ffff/64
set interfaces dummy dum10 address 2001:db8:100::ffff/64
Link Administration
-------------------
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces dummy <interface> description <description>
Assign given `<description>` to interface. Description will also be passed
to SNMP monitoring systems.
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces dummy <interface> disable
Disable given `<interface>`. It will be placed in administratively down
state.
Operation
=========
.. opcmd:: show interfaces dummy
Show brief interface information.information
.. code-block:: none
vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces dummy
Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down
