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 <type> <name>`
command.
.. code-block:: sh
vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth0
eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000

vyos@vyos:~$
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.
Interface Addresses
-------------------
Each interface can be configured with a description and address. Interface
addresses might be:
* Static IPv4 `address 172.16.51.129/24`
* Static IPv6 `address 2001:db8:1::ffff/64`
* DHCP IPv4 `address dhcp`
* DHCP IPv6 `address dhcpv6`
An interface description is assigned using the following command:
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces ethernet eth0 description 'OUTSIDE'
IPv4
^^^^
Static Address
**************
This method is supported on all interfaces, apart from OpenVPN that uses
different syntax and wireless modems that are always autoconfigured through
PPP.
The command is `set interfaces $type $name address $address`. Examples:
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 192.0.2.1/24
set interfaces tunnel tun0 address 10.0.0.1/30
set interfaces bridge br0 address 203.0.113.45/26
set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 30 address 192.0.30.254/24
DHCP
****
This method is supported on all physical interfaces, and those that are
directly connected to a physical interface (ethernet, VLAN, bridge, bond,
pseudo-ethernet, wireless).
The command is `set interfaces $type $name address dhcp`. Examples:
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 90 address dhcp
set interfaces bridge br0 address dhcp
IPv6
^^^^
Static Address
**************
This method is supported on all interfaces, apart from OpenVPN that uses
different syntax and wireless modems that are always autoconfigured through
PPP. Static IPv6 addresses are supported on all interfaces except VTI.
The command is `set interfaces $type $name address $address`. Examples:
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 2001:db8:100::ffff/64
set interfaces tunnel tun0 address 2001:db8::1/64
set interfaces bridge br0 address 2001:db8:200::1/64
set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 30 address 2001:db8:3::ffff/64
DHCP
****
This method is supported on all physical interfaces, and those that are
directly connected to a physical interface (ethernet, VLAN, bridge, bond,
pseudo-ethernet, wireless).
The command is `set interfaces $type $name address dhcpv6`. Examples:
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces bonding bond1 address dhcpv6
set interfaces bridge br0 vif 56 address dhcpv6
Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)
*************************
SLAAC is specified in RFC4862_. This method is supported on all physical
interfaces, and those that are directly connected to a physical interface
(ethernet, VLAN, bridge, bond, pseudo-ethernet, wireless).
The command is `set interfaces $type $name ipv6 address autoconf`. Examples:
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 90 ipv6 address autoconf
set interfaces bridge br0 ipv6 address autoconf
.. note:: This method automatically disables IPv6 traffic forwarding on the
interface in question.
EUI-64
******
EUI-64 (64-Bit Extended Unique Identifier) as specified in RFC4291_. IPv6
addresses in /64 networks can be automatically generated from the prefix and
MAC address, if you specify the prefix.
The command is `set interfaces $type $name ipv6 address eui64 $prefix`. Examples:
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces bridge br0 ipv6 address eui64 2001:db8:beef::/64
set interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth0 ipv6 address eui64 2001:db8:aa::/64
Ethernet Interfaces
-------------------
Ethernet interfaces allow for the configuration of speed, duplex, and hw-id
(MAC address). Below is an example configuration:
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '192.168.0.1/24'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '2001:db8:1::ffff/64'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 description 'INSIDE'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 duplex 'auto'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 speed 'auto'
Resulting in:
.. code-block:: sh
ethernet eth1 {
address 192.168.0.1/24
address 2001:db8:1::ffff/64
description INSIDE
duplex auto
hw-id 00:0c:29:44:3b:19
smp_affinity auto
speed auto
}
In addition, Ethernet interfaces provide the extended operational commands
`show interfaces ethernet <name> physical` and `show interfaces ethernet <name>
statistics`. Statistics available are driver dependent.
.. code-block:: sh
vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth0 physical
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full

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 <name>
vif <vlan-id>`.
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 description 'VLAN 100'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 address '192.168.100.1/24'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 address '2001:db8:100::1/64'
Resulting in:
.. code-block:: sh
ethernet eth1 {
address 192.168.100.1/24
address 2001:db8:100::1/64
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 `<name>.<vlan-id>`, 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'
set interfaces bridge br100 address '2001:db8:100::1/64'
Example Result:
.. code-block:: sh
bridge br100 {
address 192.168.100.1/24
address 2001:db8:100::1/64
}
[...]
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 <name> 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 <name> 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

.. code-block:: sh
vyos@vyos:~$ show bridge br100 macs

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
set interfaces vti vti0 address 2001:db8:2::249/64
Results in:
.. code-block:: sh
vyos@vyos# show interfaces vti
vti vti0 {
address 192.168.2.249/30
address 2001:db8:2::249/64
description "Description"
}
VXLAN
-----
VXLAN is an overlaying Ethernet over IP protocol. It is described in RFC7348_.
If configuring VXLAN in a VyOS virtual machine, ensure that MAC spoofing
(Hyper-V) or Forged Transmits (ESX) are permitted, otherwise forwarded frames
may be blocked by the hypervisor.
Multicast VXLAN
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Example Topology:
PC4 - Leaf2 - Spine1 - Leaf3 - PC5
PC4 has IP 10.0.0.4/24 and PC5 has IP 10.0.0.5/24, so they believe they are in
the same broadcast domain.
Let's assume PC4 on Leaf2 wants to ping PC5 on Leaf3. Instead of setting Leaf3
as our remote end manually, Leaf2 encapsulates the packet into a UDP-packet and
sends it to its designated multicast-address via Spine1. When Spine1 receives
this packet it forwards it to all other Leafs who has joined the same
multicast-group, in this case Leaf3. When Leaf3 receives the packet it forwards
it, while at the same time learning that PC4 is reachable behind Leaf2, because
the encapsulated packet had Leaf2's IP-address set as source IP.
PC5 receives the ping echo, responds with an echo reply that Leaf3 receives and
this time forwards to Leaf2's unicast address directly because it learned the
location of PC4 above. When Leaf2 receives the echo reply from PC5 it sees that
it came from Leaf3 and so remembers that PC5 is reachable via Leaf3.
Thanks to this discovery, any subsequent traffic between PC4 and PC5 will not
be using the multicast-address between the Leafs as they both know behind which
Leaf the PCs are connected. This saves traffic as less multicast packets sent
reduces the load on the network, which improves scalability when more Leafs are
added.
For optimal scalability Multicast shouldn't be used at all, but instead use BGP
to signal all connected devices between leafs. Unfortunately, VyOS does not yet
support this.
Configuration commands
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: sh
interfaces
vxlan <vxlan[0-16777215]>
address # IP address of the VXLAN interface
bridge-group # Configure a L2 bridge-group
description # Description
group <ipv4> # IPv4 Multicast group address (required)
ip # IPv4 routing options
ipv6 # IPv6 routing options
link <dev> # IP interface for underlay of this vxlan overlay (optional)
mtu # MTU
policy # Policy routing options
remote # Remote address of the VXLAN tunnel, used for PTP instead of multicast
vni <1-16777215> # Virtual Network Identifier (required)
Configuration Example
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The setup is this:
Leaf2 - Spine1 - Leaf3
Spine1 is a Cisco IOS router running version 15.4, Leaf2 and Leaf3 is each a
VyOS router running 1.2.
This topology was built using GNS3.
Topology:
.. code-block:: sh
Spine1:
fa0/2 towards Leaf2, IP-address: 10.1.2.1/24
fa0/3 towards Leaf3, IP-address: 10.1.3.1/24
Leaf2:
Eth0 towards Spine1, IP-address: 10.1.2.2/24
Eth1 towards a vlan-aware switch
Leaf3:
Eth0 towards Spine1, IP-address 10.1.3.3/24
Eth1 towards a vlan-aware switch
Spine1 Configuration:
.. code-block:: sh
conf t
ip multicast-routing
!
interface fastethernet0/2
ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
ip pim sparse-dense-mode
!
interface fastethernet0/3
ip address 10.1.3.1 255.255.255.0
ip pim sparse-dense-mode
!
router ospf 1
network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0
Multicast-routing is required for the leafs to forward traffic between each
other in a more scalable way. This also requires PIM to be enabled towards the
Leafs so that the Spine can learn what multicast groups each Leaf expect traffic
from.
Leaf2 configuration:
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '10.1.2.2/24'
set protocols ospf area 0 network '10.0.0.0/8'
! Our first vxlan interface
set interfaces bridge br241 address '172.16.241.1/24'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 group '239.0.0.241'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 link 'eth0'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 vni '241'
! Our seconds vxlan interface
set interfaces bridge br242 address '172.16.242.1/24'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 242 bridge-group bridge 'br242'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 bridge-group bridge 'br242'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 group '239.0.0.242'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 link 'eth0'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 vni '242'
Leaf3 configuration:
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '10.1.3.3/24'
set protocols ospf area 0 network '10.0.0.0/8'
! Our first vxlan interface
set interfaces bridge br241 address '172.16.241.1/24'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 group '239.0.0.241'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 link 'eth0'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 vni '241'
! Our seconds vxlan interface
set interfaces bridge br242 address '172.16.242.1/24'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 242 bridge-group bridge 'br242'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 bridge-group bridge 'br242'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 group '239.0.0.242'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 link 'eth0'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 vni '242'
As you can see, Leaf2 and Leaf3 configuration is almost identical. There are
lots of commands above, I'll try to into more detail below, command
descriptions are placed under the command boxes:
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces bridge br241 address '172.16.241.1/24'
This commands creates a bridge that is used to bind traffic on eth1 vlan 241
with the vxlan241-interface. The IP-address is not required. It may however be
used as a default gateway for each Leaf which allows devices on the vlan to
reach other subnets. This requires that the subnets are redistributed by OSPF
so that the Spine will learn how to reach it. To do this you need to change the
OSPF network from '10.0.0.0/8' to '0.0.0.0/0' to allow 172.16/12-networks to be
advertised.
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
Binds eth1 vif 241 and vxlan241 to each other by putting them in the same
bridge-group. Internal VyOS requirement.
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 group '239.0.0.241'
The multicast-group used by all Leafs for this vlan extension. Has to be the
same on all Leafs that has this interface.
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 link 'eth0'
Sets the interface to listen for multicast packets on. Could be a loopback, not
yet tested.
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 vni '241'
Sets the unique id for this vxlan-interface. Not sure how it correlates with
multicast-address.
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 remote-port 12345
The destination port used for creating a VXLAN interface in Linux defaults to
its pre-standard value of 8472 to preserve backwards compatibility. A
configuration directive to support a user-specified destination port to override
that behavior is available using the above command.
Older Examples
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Example for bridging normal L2 segment and vxlan overlay network, and using a
vxlan interface as routing interface.
.. code-block:: sh
interfaces {
bridge br0 {
}
ethernet eth0 {
address dhcp
}
loopback lo {
}
vxlan vxlan0 {
bridge-group {
bridge br0
}
group 239.0.0.1
vni 0
}
vxlan vxlan1 {
address 192.168.0.1/24
link eth0
group 239.0.0.1
vni 1
}
}
Here is a working configuration that creates a VXLAN between two routers. Each
router has a VLAN interface (26) facing the client devices and a VLAN interface
(30) that connects it to the other routers. With this configuration, traffic
can flow between both routers' VLAN 26, but can't escape since there is no L3
gateway. You can add an IP to a bridge-group to create a gateway.
.. code-block:: sh
interfaces {
bridge br0 {
}
ethernet eth0 {
duplex auto
smp-affinity auto
speed auto
vif 26 {
bridge-group {
bridge br0
}
}
vif 30 {
address 10.7.50.6/24
}
}
loopback lo {
}
vxlan vxlan0 {
bridge-group {
bridge br0
}
group 239.0.0.241
vni 241
}
}
WireGuard VPN Interface
-----------------------
WireGuard_ is an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that utilizes
state-of-the-art cryptography. See https://www.wireguard.com for more
information.
Configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Generate the keypair, which creates a public and private part and stores it
within VyOS.
.. code-block:: sh
wg01:~$ configure
wg01# run generate wireguard keypair
The public key is being shared with your peer(s), your peer will encrypt all
traffic to your system using this public key.
.. code-block:: sh
wg01# run show wireguard pubkey
u41jO3OF73Gq1WARMMFG7tOfk7+r8o8AzPxJ1FZRhzk=
The next step is to configure your local side as well as the policy based
trusted destination addresses. If you only initiate a connection, the listen
port and endpoint is optional, if you however act as a server and endpoints
initiate the connections to your system, you need to define a port your clients
can connect to, otherwise it's randomly chosen and may make it difficult with
firewall rules, since the port may be a different one when you reboot your
system.
You will also need the public key of your peer as well as the network(s) you
want to tunnel (allowed-ips) to configure a wireguard tunnel. The public key
below is always the public key from your peer, not your local one.
**local side**
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces wireguard wg01 address '10.1.0.1/24'
set interfaces wireguard wg01 description 'VPN-to-wg02'
set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 allowed-ips '10.2.0.0/24'
set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 endpoint '192.168.0.142:12345'
set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 pubkey 'XMrlPykaxhdAAiSjhtPlvi30NVkvLQliQuKP7AI7CyI='
set interfaces wireguard wg01 port '12345'
set protocols static interface-route 10.2.0.0/24 next-hop-interface wg01
The last step is to define an interface route for 10.2.0.0/24 to get through
the wireguard interface `wg01`. Multiple IPs or networks can be defined and
routed, the last check is allowed-ips which either prevents or allows the
traffic.
**remote side**
.. code-block:: sh
set interfaces wireguard wg01 address '10.2.0.1/24'
set interfaces wireguard wg01 description 'VPN-to-wg01'
set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 allowed-ips '10.1.0.0/24'
set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 endpoint '192.168.0.124:12345'
set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 pubkey 'u41jO3OF73Gq1WARMMFG7tOfk7+r8o8AzPxJ1FZRhzk='
set interfaces wireguard wg01 port '12345'
set protocols static interface-route 10.1.0.0/24 next-hop-interface wg01
Assure that your firewall rules allow the traffic, in which case you have a
working VPN using wireguard.
.. code-block:: sh
wg01# ping 10.2.0.1
PING 10.2.0.1 (10.2.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.2.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.16 ms
64 bytes from 10.2.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.77 ms
wg02# ping 10.1.0.1
PING 10.1.0.1 (10.1.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.1.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=4.40 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.02 ms
An additional layer of symmetric-key crypto can be used on top of the
asymmetric crypto, which is optional.
.. code-block:: sh
wg01# run generate wireguard preshared-key
rvVDOoc2IYEnV+k5p7TNAmHBMEGTHbPU8Qqg8c/sUqc=
Copy the key, it is not stored on the local file system. Make sure you
distribute that key in a safe manner, it's a symmatric key, so only you and
your peer should have knowledge if its content.
.. code-block:: sh
wg01# set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 preshared-key 'rvVDOoc2IYEnV+k5p7TNAmHBMEGTHbPU8Qqg8c/sUqc='
wg02# set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg01 preshared-key 'rvVDOoc2IYEnV+k5p7TNAmHBMEGTHbPU8Qqg8c/sUqc='
