-# Bond / link aggregation
-
-A **bonding interface** aggregates multiple network interfaces into a single
-logical interface (referred to as a bond, {abbr}`LAG (Link Aggregation Group)`,
-EtherChannel, or port-channel).
-
-The behavior of a bonding interface depends on the selected mode. Modes provide
-either fault tolerance or a combination of load balancing and fault tolerance.
-Additionally, the bonding interface can be configured for link integrity
-monitoring.
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Common interface configuration
-
-```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-common-with-dhcp.txt
-:var0: bonding
-:var1: bond0
-```
-
-### Member interfaces
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bonding \<interface\> member interface \<member\>
-
-**Add an interface to the bonding group.**
-
-**Example:**
-
-To configure eth0 and eth1 as members of the bonding interface bond0, execute
-the following commands:
-```
-
-```none
-set interfaces bonding bond0 member interface eth0
-set interfaces bonding bond0 member interface eth1
-```
-
-### Bond modes
-
-````{cfgcmd} set interfaces bonding \<interface\> mode \<802.3ad | active-backup | broadcast | round-robin | transmit-load-balance | adaptive-load-balance | xor-hash\>
-
-```{eval-rst}
-**Configure the bonding mode on the interface. The default mode is**
-``802.3ad``.
-
-The available modes are:
-
-* ``802.3ad``
-
-.. list-table::
- :widths: 20 80
-
- * - **Description:**
- - IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation. Groups only member
- interfaces with the same speed (e.g., 1 Gbps) and duplex
- settings. Member interfaces with different speed and duplex
- settings are not included in the active bond.
-
- Provides load balancing and fault tolerance. Uses the
- :abbr:`LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol)` to
- negotiate the bond with the switch.
- * - **Traffic distribution:**
- - Traffic is distributed according to the **transmit hash
- policy** (default: XOR).
-
- The bonding driver applies an XOR operation to specific
- packet header fields, generating a hash value that maps to
- a particular member interface. This ensures the same network
- flow is consistently transmitted over the same member
- interface.
-
- The transmit hash policy is configured via the ``hash-policy`` option.
- * - **Failover:**
- - If a member interface fails, the hash is recalculated to distribute
- traffic among the remaining active member interfaces.
-
-.. note:: Not all transmit hash policies comply with 802.3ad, particularly
- section 43.2.4. Using a non-compliant policy may result in out-of-order
- packet delivery.
-
-* ``active-backup``
-
-.. list-table::
- :widths: 20 80
-
- * - **Description:**
- - Provides fault tolerance. Only one member interface is active
- at a time. Other member interfaces remain in a standby mode.
- * - **Traffic distribution:**
- - All traffic (incoming and outgoing) is routed via one active
- member interface.
- * - **Failover:**
- - If the designated member interface fails, all traffic is
- routed to another member interface. The bonding driver sends
- a Gratuitous ARP to update the peer's MAC address table,
- linking the bond's MAC address to another physical port.
-
-* ``broadcast``
-
-.. list-table::
- :widths: 20 80
-
- * - **Description:**
- - Provides maximum fault tolerance by duplicating traffic.
- * - **Traffic distribution:**
- - Every packet is duplicated and transmitted on **all** member
- interfaces.
- * - **Failover:**
- - Traffic flow is not interrupted as long as at least one
- member interface remains active.
-
-* ``round-robin``
-
-.. list-table::
- :widths: 20 80
-
- * - **Description:**
- - Provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
- * - **Traffic distribution:**
- - Packets are transmitted in sequential order across the member
- interfaces (e.g., packet 1 > interface A, packet 2 >
- interface B, etc.).
- * - **Failover:**
- - If a member interface fails, the sequence skips the failed
- interface and continues with the remaining active members.
-
-* ``transmit-load-balance``
-
-.. list-table::
- :widths: 20 80
-
- * - **Description:**
- - Provides adaptive transmit load balancing and fault tolerance.
- * - **Traffic distribution:**
- - **Outgoing:** Distributed across all active member interfaces
- based on the current load.
-
- **Incoming:** Received by a designated member interface
- (active receiver).
- * - **Failover:**
- - If the active receiver fails, another member interface takes
- over as the new active receiver.
-
-* ``adaptive-load-balance``
-
-.. list-table::
- :widths: 20 80
-
- * - **Description:**
- - Provides adaptive transmit load balancing identical to
- ``transmit-load-balance``, receive load balancing for IPv4
- traffic, and fault tolerance for both incoming and outgoing
- traffic.
- * - **Traffic distribution:**
- - **Outgoing:** Identical to ``transmit-load-balance``.
-
- **Incoming:** Distributed based on ARP manipulation. For
- both local and remote connections, the bonding driver
- intercepts ARP traffic and changes the source MAC address
- to the MAC address of the least loaded member interface.
-
- All traffic from that peer is then routed to the chosen
- member interface.
- * - **Failover:**
- - If a member interface's state changes (fails, recovers, is
- added, or excluded), the traffic is redistributed among all
- active member interfaces.
-
-* ``xor-hash``: Provides load balancing and fault tolerance
- based on a hash formula. Distributes traffic and handles
- failover identically to ``802.3ad``, but operates without
- the :abbr:`LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol)`.
-```
-
-````
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bonding \<interface\> min-links \<0-16\>
-
-**Configure how many member interfaces must be active (in the
-link-up state) to mark the bonding interface UP (carrier
-asserted).**
-
-This command applies only when the bonding interface is configured
-in 802.3ad mode and functions like the Cisco EtherChannel min-links
-feature. It ensures that a bonding interface is marked UP (carrier
-asserted) only when a specified number of member interfaces are
-active (in the link-up state). This helps guarantee a minimum level
-of bandwidth for higher-level services (such as clustering) relying
-on the bonding interface.
-
-The default value is 0. This marks the bonding interface UP
-(carrier asserted) whenever an active LACP aggregator exists,
-regardless of the number of member interfaces in that aggregator.
-
-:::{note}
-In 802.3ad mode, a bond cannot be active without at least one active
-member interface. Therefore, setting min-links to 0 or 1 has the same result:
-the bonding interface is marked UP (carrier asserted).
-:::
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bonding \<interface\> lacp-rate \<slow|fast\>
-
-**Configure the rate at which the bonding interface requests its link
-partner to send** {abbr}`LACPDUs (Link Aggregation Control Protocol Data
-Units)` **in 802.3ad mode.**
-
-This command applies only when the bonding interface is configured in
-802.3ad mode.
-
-The following options are available:
-
-* **slow (default):** Requests the link partner to transmit LACPDUs every 30 seconds.
-
-* **fast:** Requests the link partner to transmit LACPDUs every 1 second.
-```
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bonding \<interface\> system-mac \<mac address\>
-
-**Configure a specific MAC address for the bonding interface.**
-
-This sets the 802.3ad system MAC address, which is used for {abbr}`LACPDU (Link
-Aggregation Control Protocol Data Unit)` exchanges with the link partner.
-You can assign a fixed MAC address or generate a random one for these
-{abbr}`LACPDU (Link Aggregation Control Protocol Data Unit)` exchanges.
-```
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bonding \<interface\> hash-policy \<policy\>
-
-**Configure which transmit hash policy to use for distributing traffic across
-member interfaces.**
-
-The following policies are available:
-
-* ``layer2``
-
-**Description:** Routes all traffic destined for a specific network peer through
-the same member interface. The policy is 802.3ad-compliant.
-
-**Hash inputs:** Source MAC address, destination MAC address, and Ethernet packet
-type ID.
-
-**Formula:**
-
-:::{code-block} none
-hash = source MAC address XOR destination MAC address XOR packet type ID
-member interface number = hash modulo member interface count
-:::
-
-* ``layer2+3``
-
-**Description:** Similar to ``layer2``, routes all traffic destined for a specific
-network peer through the same member interface and is IEEE 802.3ad-compliant. Uses
-both Layer 2 and Layer 3 information to provide a more balanced traffic distribution.
-
-**Hash inputs:**
-* Source MAC address, destination MAC address, and Ethernet packet type ID.
-* Source IP address, destination IP address. IPv6 addresses are first hashed
- using ``IPv6_addr_hash``.
-
-**Formula:**
-
-:::{code-block} none
-hash = source MAC address XOR destination MAC address XOR packet type ID
-hash = hash XOR source IP address XOR destination IP address
-hash = hash XOR (hash RSHIFT 16)
-hash = hash XOR (hash RSHIFT 8)
-member interface number = hash modulo member interface count
-:::
-
-For non-IP traffic, the formula is the same as for ``layer2``.
-
-* ``layer3+4``
-
-**Description:** Routes different connections (flows) destined for a specific
-network peer through multiple member interfaces, but ensures each individual
-flow is routed through only one member interface.
-
-:::{note}
-This policy is not fully 802.3ad-compliant. When a single TCP or UDP flow
-contains both fragmented and unfragmented packets, the algorithm may distribute
-them across different member interfaces. This may result in out-of-order packet
-delivery, violating the 802.3ad standard.
-:::
-
-**Hash inputs:**
-* Source port, destination port (if available).
-* Source IP address, destination IP address. IPv6 addresses are first hashed
- using ``IPv6_addr_hash``.
-
-**Formula:**
-
-:::{code-block} none
-hash = source port, destination port (as in the header)
-hash = hash XOR source IP address XOR destination IP address
-hash = hash XOR (hash RSHIFT 16)
-hash = hash XOR (hash RSHIFT 8)
-member interface number = hash modulo member interface count
-:::
-
-For fragmented TCP or UDP packets and all other IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, the
-source and destination port information is omitted.
-
-For non-IP traffic, the formula is the same as for ``layer2``.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bonding \<interface\> primary \<interface\>
-
-**Configure the primary member interface in the bond.**
-
-The primary member interface remains active as long as it is operational;
-alternative member interfaces are used only if it fails.
-
-Use this configuration when a specific member interface is preferred,
-such as one with higher throughput.
-
-This command applies only to ``active-backup``, ``transmit-load-balance``, and
-``adaptive-load-balance`` modes.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bonding \<interface\> arp-monitor interval \<time\>
-
-**Configure the ARP monitoring interval, in seconds, for the bonding interface.**
-
-ARP monitoring periodically assesses the health of each member interface by
-checking whether it has recently sent or received traffic (this criterion
-varies depending on the bonding mode and the member interface’s state). ARP
-probes are sent to the IP addresses specified with the arp-monitor target option.
-
-When ARP monitoring is used with EtherChannel-compatible modes (such as
-``round-robin`` or ``xor-hash``), the switch should be configured to distribute
-traffic across all member interfaces. If the switch distributes traffic using
-an XOR-based policy, all ARP replies will be received on one member interface,
-causing other member interfaces to be incorrectly marked as failed.
-
-Setting this value to 0 disables ARP monitoring.
-
-The default value is 0.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bonding \<interface\> arp-monitor target \<address\>
-
-**Configure the IP addresses for ARP monitoring requests.**
-
-The bonding driver sends ARP requests to these IP addresses to check the
-state of member interfaces.
-
-To enable ARP monitoring, configure at least one IP address (up to 16 per
-bonding interface).
-
-By default, no IP addresses are configured.

-#### EVPN multihoming
-
-
-EVPN multihoming (EVPN-MH) is a standards-based solution (RFC 7432, RFC 8365)
-that enables Customer Edge (CE) devices, such as servers, to connect to two
-or more Provider Edge (PE) devices for redundancy and load balancing.
-
-
-EVPN-MH is often used as a modern, standards-based alternative to
-{abbr}`MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation)` and {abbr}`VTEPs (Virtual
-Tunnel Endpoints)`.
-
-
-**Ethernet Segment (ES) and Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI)**
-
-
-Physical links that connect a CE device to PE devices are bundled using link
-aggregation. This logical bundle is called an Ethernet Segment (ES) and is
-uniquely identified by an Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI) within the
-EVPN domain.
-
-
-To enable EVPN-MH, configure the same ESI on the bonding interfaces of all
-PE devices connected to a single CE device.
-
-
-An ESI is configured by specifying either a system MAC address and a local
-discriminator, or an Ethernet Segment Identifier Name (ESINAME).
-
-
-The following two commands generate a 10-byte Type-3 ESI by combining the
-system MAC and local discriminator:
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bonding \<interface\> evpn es-id \<1-16777215|10-byte ID\>
-
-```
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bonding \<interface\> evpn es-sys-mac \<xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx\>
-
-Alternatively, assign an ESINAME directly as a 10-byte Type-0 ESI using the
-following format: 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF:GG:HH:II.
-
-**BGP-EVPN route usage**
-
-EVPN-MH uses BGP-EVPN route types 1 and 2 for ES discovery and MAC-IP
-synchronization:
-
-* **Type 1 (EAD-per-ES and EAD-per-EVI)** routes advertise the locally
-attached ESs and discover remote ESs in the network.
-* **Type 2 (MAC-IP advertisement)** routes are advertised with a
-destination ESI, enabling MAC-IP synchronization between ES peers.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bonding \<interface\> evpn es-df-pref \<1-65535\>
-
-**Configure the** {abbr}`DF (Designated Forwarder)` **preference (1-65535) for
-the interface. A higher value indicates a higher preference to become the**
-{abbr}`DF (Designated Forwarder)`. **The** {abbr}`DF (Designated Forwarder)`
-**preference is configured per-ES.**
-
-The DF election process determines which interface in a specific ES forwards
-{abbr}`BUM (Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, and Multicast)` traffic from the EVPN
-overlay to the connected CE device. EVPN Type-4 (Ethernet Segment) routes are
-used to elect the DF, implementing the preference-based election method defined
-in RFC 9785.
-
-Interfaces not elected as the DF drop any BUM traffic from the EVPN overlay
-using non-DF filters. Similarly, traffic received from ES peers via the EVPN
-overlay is blocked from forwarding to the CE device to maintain split-horizon
-filtering with local bias.
-```

-
-## Example
-
-
-The following configuration example applies to all listed third-party vendors.
-It creates a bonding interface with two member interfaces, defines VLANs 10
-and 100 on the bonding interface, and assigns an IPv4 address to each VLAN
-subinterface.
-
-```none
-# Create the bonding interface bond0 with 802.3ad LACP
-set interfaces bonding bond0 hash-policy 'layer2'
-set interfaces bonding bond0 mode '802.3ad'
-
-# Add the required VLANs and IPv4 addresses on them
-set interfaces bonding bond0 vif 10 address 192.168.0.1/24
-set interfaces bonding bond0 vif 100 address 10.10.10.1/24
-
-# Add the member interfaces to the bonding interface
-set interfaces bonding bond0 member interface eth1
-set interfaces bonding bond0 member interface eth2
-```
-:::{note}
-If you are running this configuration in a virtual environment like
-EVE-NG, ensure the e1000 driver is chosen for your VyOS NIC. The default
-drivers, such as ``virtio-net-pci`` or ``vmxnet3``, are incompatible with
-this configuration. Specifically, ICMP messages will not be processed
-correctly.
-
-To check your NIC driver, use the following command:
-``show interfaces ethernet eth0 physical | grep -i driver``

-# Bridge
-
-VyOS bridges connect Ethernet segments by grouping multiple interfaces into a
-single bridge interface, which acts as a virtual software switch. Unlike
-routers, which forward traffic based on Layer 3 IP addresses, bridges operate
-at Layer 2 and forward traffic based on MAC addresses. Operating at Layer 2,
-bridges are protocol-agnostic and transparently forward all Ethernet-
-encapsulated traffic, whether it is IPv4, IPv6, or specialized industrial
-protocols.
-
-This implementation utilizes the Linux bridge subsystem to support a subset of
-the ANSI/IEEE 802.1d standard for transparent bridging and MAC address learning.
-
-:::{note}
-{abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` is disabled by default in VyOS
-and must be explicitly enabled if required. See {ref}`stp` for details.

-## Configuration
-
-### Common interface configuration
-
-```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-common-with-dhcp.txt
-:var0: bridge
-:var1: br0
-```
-
-
-### Member interfaces
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> member interface \<member\>
-
-**Configure an interface as a bridge member.**
-
-Valid interface types are: {ref}`ethernet-interface`, {ref}`bond-interface`,
-{ref}`l2tpv3-interface`, {ref}`openvpn`, {ref}`vxlan-interface`,
-{ref}`wireless-interface`, {ref}`tunnel-interface`, and
-{ref}`geneve-interface`.
-
-Use tab completion to list interfaces that can be bridged.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> member interface \<member\> priority \<priority\>
-
-**Configure the** {abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` **port priority
-for a specific member interface within a bridge.**
-
-Within the {abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` topology, each member interface
-in a bridge operates as a port with an assigned **priority** and **path cost**.
-{abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` uses these values to determine the
-**lowest-cost path** to the root bridge, maintaining a loop-free topology.
-Traffic flows through the path with the lowest path cost, while alternate
-paths remain in standby.
-
-A **lower** priority value means **higher** precedence in path selection.
-
-{abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` considers the port priority only if
-multiple member interfaces have the same path costs.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> member interface \<member\> cost \<cost\>
-
-**Configure the** {abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` **path cost for a
-specific member interface within the bridge.**
-
-Path cost is the primary metric {abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` uses to
-determine the path to the root bridge. This value is based on interface
-bandwidth; faster interfaces receive lower costs.
-
-By assigning a lower cost, you give the interface higher precedence during
-path selection.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> member interface \<member\> disable-learning
-
-**Disable MAC address learning for a specific member interface
-within a bridge.**
-
-When learning is disabled, the bridge will not add source MAC addresses
-observed on this port to its forwarding database (FDB). Frames destined
-to MACs not present in the FDB are then flooded to all bridge ports
-rather than unicast-forwarded.
-```
-
-
-### Bridge options
-
-Configure how bridge interfaces maintain their {abbr}`FDB (Forwarding Database)`
-, react to topology changes, and optimize multicast data streams.
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> aging \<time\>
-
-**Configure the MAC address aging time for the bridge.**
-
-The duration in seconds that a MAC address remains in the bridge’s {abbr}`FDB
-(Forwarding Database)` before removal if no traffic is received from that
-address.
-
-The default value is 300 seconds.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> max-age \<time\>
-
-**Configure the** {abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` **max age timer for
-the bridge.**
-
-The duration in seconds that the bridge waits for a {abbr}`BPDU (Bridge
-Protocol Data Unit)` from the root bridge.
-
-If the bridge does not receive a {abbr}`BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit)`
-within this period, it recalculates the path to the root bridge or initiates
-a new root bridge election.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> igmp querier
-
-**Configure the bridge interface to act as the** {abbr}`IGMP (Internet Group
-Management Protocol)`/{abbr}`MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery)` **Querier.**
-
-**When configured:** The bridge interface sends {abbr}`IGMP (Internet Group
-Management Protocol)` (IPv4) and {abbr}`MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery)`
-(IPv6) general queries to all connected hosts to identify active multicast
-listeners.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> igmp snooping
-
-**Configure the bridge interface to perform** {abbr}`IGMP (Internet Group
-Management Protocol)`/{abbr}`MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery)`
-**snooping.**
-
-**When configured:** The bridge interface monitors {abbr}`IGMP (Internet Group
-Management Protocol)` (IPv4) and {abbr}`MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery)`
-(IPv6) join requests and restricts multicast traffic forwarding to only active
-listeners. This prevents network flooding.
-```
-
-(stp)=
-
-#### STP configuration
-
-{abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` is a Layer 2 protocol that prevents loops
-in Ethernet networks by ensuring only one logical path exists between any two
-bridges. This creates a loop-free topology and prevents broadcast storms that
-can crash the network.
-
-By default, {abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` is disabled on bridge interfaces.
-To activate loop prevention, you must explicitly enable the protocol and
-configure its parameters.
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> stp
-
-Enable {abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` on the bridge interface.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> forwarding-delay \<delay\>
-
-**Configure the** {abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` **delay, in seconds,
-for the bridge interface.**
-
-This parameter defines how long the bridge interface remains in the listening
-and learning states before forwarding traffic. The delay ensures that the
-bridge has sufficient time to detect loops (in the listening state) and learn
-the MAC addresses of connected devices (in the learning state).
-
-The default value is 15 seconds. The total time before forwarding begins is
-twice this value.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> hello-time \<interval\>
-
-**Configure the** {abbr}`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` **Hello advertisement
-interval, in seconds.**
-
-This parameter sets the frequency at which the bridge interface transmits
-Hello packets ({abbr}`BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data Units)`). These packets
-originate from the root bridge and are propagated by designated bridges. If
-neighbors stop receiving Hello packets, they assume a connection failure and
-trigger a topology recalculation.
-
-The default value is 2 seconds.
-```
-
-
-### VLAN
-
-#### VLAN-aware bridges
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> enable-vlan
-
-**Enable VLAN filtering (also known as VLAN awareness) on the bridge interface.**
-
-When enabled, the bridge strictly segregates traffic among VLANs configured
-on its member interfaces.
-
-:::{note}
-Do not configure **vif 1** on a VLAN-aware bridge. The main bridge
-interface acts as VLAN 1 (the default native VLAN) and automatically
-handles all untagged traffic.
-:::
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> protocol \<802.1ad | 802.1q\>
-
-**Configure the VLAN protocol (EtherType) for the bridge interface.**
-
-The following options are available:
-* ``802.1q`` (default): Sets the EtherType to ``0x8100``. Used for standard
-enterprise VLANs.
-* ``802.1ad``: Sets the EtherType to ``0x88a8``. Used for QinQ (provider bridging).
-```
-
-
-#### VLAN configuration
-
-```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-vlan-8021q.txt
-:var0: bridge
-:var1: br0
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> member interface \<member\> native-vlan \<vlan-id\>
-
-**Configure the native VLAN ID for a specific member interface within a
-VLAN-aware bridge.**
-
-This assigns the specified ``<vlan-id>`` to untagged traffic entering the member
-interface. The bridge strips the VLAN tag from outgoing traffic matching this
-ID.
-
-**Example:**
-
-Set the native VLAN ID to 2 for the member interface ``eth0``:
-
-:::{code-block} none
-set interfaces bridge br1 member interface eth0 native-vlan 2
-:::
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces bridge \<interface\> member interface \<member\> allowed-vlan \<vlan-id\>
-
-**Configure allowed VLAN IDs for a specific member interface within a
-VLAN-aware bridge.**
-
-Enter a single VLAN ID or a range of VLAN IDs separated by a hyphen.
-
-**Example:**
-
-To allow VLAN ID 4 on member interface ``eth0``:
-
-:::{code-block} none
-set interfaces bridge br1 member interface eth0 allowed-vlan 4
-:::

-# Dummy
-
-A dummy interface is a virtual network interface that operates like the
-loopback interface, accepting traffic and routing it back to the local host.
-Unlike the loopback interface, which is limited to one per system and reserved
-for internal system use, multiple dummy interfaces can be created, removed, and
-managed without impacting core operations.
-
-As a software-based interface, the dummy interface does not depend on physical
-link state and remains active as long as the operating system is running.
-
-Dummy interfaces are commonly used in environments with multiple redundant
-uplinks (e.g., a server connected to two different switches), where assigning a
-management IP address to a specific physical interface is risky. If that
-interface fails, the management IP address becomes unreachable.
-
-Assigning the management IP address to a dummy interface and advertising it
-over all available physical links ensures the address remains reachable as long
-as at least one physical path is active.
-
-Dummy interfaces are also used for testing and simulation purposes.

-# Ethernet
-
-Ethernet interfaces (e.g., `eth0`, `eth1`) represent the host's physical
-or virtual network ports.
-
-They are the most common interface type, serving as the base layer upon which
-IP addresses, VLANs, and tunnels are configured to carry traffic across both
-LANs and WANs.
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Common interface configuration
-
-```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-common-with-dhcp.txt
-:var0: ethernet
-:var1: eth0
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces ethernet \<interface\> switchdev
-
-**Enable** ``switchdev`` **mode for the interface.**
-
-In ``switchdev`` mode, the interface offloads traffic switching between ports
-to the hardware, bypassing the host CPU. This increases the interface’s
-traffic-handling capacity and reduces its forwarding delay.
-```
-
-:::{note}
-`switchdev` mode is available only on certain physical network
-interfaces and requires a switchdev-compatible driver.
-:::
-
-### Ethernet options
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces ethernet \<interface\> duplex \<auto | full | half\>
-
-**Configure duplex mode for the interface.**
-
-The following duplex modes are available:
-
-* ``auto``: The interface negotiates the duplex mode with the connected device.
-* ``full``: The interface sends and receives data simultaneously. The
- connected device must also be set to full-duplex to avoid a duplex mismatch.
-* ``half``: The interface either sends or receives data, but not both at the
- same time.
-
-The default duplex mode is ``auto``.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces ethernet \<interface\> speed \<auto | 10 | 100 | 1000 | 2500 | 5000 | 10000 | 25000 | 40000 | 50000 | 100000\>
-
-**Configure the interface's speed, in Mbit/s.**
-
-The following options are available:
-
-* ``auto``: The interface negotiates the speed with the connected device.
-* ``10, 100, 1000 ...``: The interface operates at the selected speed. The
- connected device must be set to the same speed to establish a connection.
-
-The default option is ``auto``.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces ethernet \<interface\> ring-buffer rx \<value\>
-
-**Configure the receive (RX) ring buffer size for the interface.**
-
-The RX ring buffer size defines the number of incoming packets the interface
-can queue in hardware before the CPU processes them.
-
-Higher values reduce the risk of drops when the NIC receives network traffic
-faster than the CPU can process it, though latency may increase. Lower values
-reduce latency but increase the risk of packet drops during incoming traffic
-bursts.
-
-To view supported values for a specific interface, use:
-```
-
-```none
-ethtool -g <interface>
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces ethernet \<interface\> ring-buffer tx \<value\>
-
-**Configure the transmit (TX) ring buffer size.**
-
-The TX ring buffer size defines the number of outgoing packets the interface
-can queue in hardware before they are transmitted onto the network.
-
-Higher values reduce the risk of drops when the CPU generates traffic faster
-than the NIC can handle, though latency may increase. Lower values reduce
-latency but increase the risk of packet drops during outgoing traffic bursts.
-
-To view supported values for a specific interface, use:
-```
-
-```none
-ethtool -g <interface>
-```
-
-
-#### Interrupt Coalescing
-
-Interrupt coalescing is a mechanism that reduces CPU interrupt load by bundling
-multiple packets into a single interrupt event instead of interrupting
-the CPU for every packet arrival or transmission.
-
-:::{note}
-Not all network drivers or virtual interfaces support all
-coalescing parameters. Use `ethtool --show-coalesce <interface>`
-to verify which settings are supported by your hardware and driver.
-:::
-
-**Basic adaptive coalescing**
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces ethernet \<interface\> interrupt-coalescing adaptive-rx
-
-```
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces ethernet \<interface\> interrupt-coalescing adaptive-tx
-
-Enable adaptive interrupt coalescing. The NIC automatically tunes RX/TX
-interrupt pacing based on traffic patterns to reduce CPU utilization
-during high throughput while preserving latency at low packet rates.
-```
-
-**Basic interrupt delay**
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces ethernet \<interface\> interrupt-coalescing rx-usecs \<0-16384\>
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces ethernet \<interface\> interrupt-coalescing tx-usecs \<0-16384\>
-
-Set the delay in microseconds before generating an RX/TX interrupt after
-receiving or transmitting a packet. Lower values reduce latency; higher
-values reduce CPU load.
-```
-
-**Interrupt frame thresholds**
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces ethernet \<interface\> interrupt-coalescing rx-frames \<number\>
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces ethernet \<interface\> interrupt-coalescing tx-frames \<number\>
-
-Generate an RX/TX interrupt only after the specified number of packets
-have been received or transmitted.
-```

-
-#### Offloading
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces ethernet \<interface\> offload \<lro | tso | gso | gro | rps | sg\>
-
-**Configure the offloading features for the interface.**
-
-The interface offloading features define whether specific packet-processing tasks
-are performed by hardware (the NIC) or by software (the kernel). You can enable
-multiple offloading features for a single interface.
-
- * ``lro`` **(Large Receive Offload):** Instructs the NIC to merge multiple
- incoming packets into one larger packet before sending it to the CPU.
-
- :::{note}
- {abbr}`LRO (Large Receive Offload)` hardware support is often limited
- to TCP/IPv4 packets. For details on LRO limitations, see
- https://lwn.net/Articles/358910/
- :::
- :::{warning}
- {abbr}`LRO (Large Receive Offload)` irreversibly alters packet
- headers during merging. This prevents the merged packet from being correctly
- split back into the original packets, causing packet drops and forwarding
- failures on routers and bridges. Use {abbr}`LRO (Large Receive Offload)` only
- for end-hosts that do not forward traffic.
- :::
- * ``tso`` **(TCP Segmentation Offload):** Instructs the NIC to split large TCP
- packets into smaller ones before transmitting them to the network.
-
- **Important:** {abbr}`SG (Scatter-Gather/Scatter-Gather DMA)` must be enabled
- for {abbr}`TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload)` to work. Additionally, {abbr}`GSO
- (Generic Segmentation Offload)` should be enabled as a safety fallback; it
- ensures that if traffic is rerouted to hardware without {abbr}`TSO (TCP
- Segmentation Offload)` support, the kernel can still segment the packets,
- preventing transmission failures.
-
- * ``gso`` **(Generic Segmentation Offload):** Instructs the kernel to split
- large packets into smaller ones before sending them to the NIC.
-
- {abbr}`GSO (Generic Segmentation Offload)` serves as a software fallback for
- hardware that does not support {abbr}`TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload)` or for
- protocols (like UDP) that hardware cannot offload.
-
- **Important:** {abbr}`SG (Scatter-Gather/Scatter-Gather DMA)` must be enabled
- for {abbr}`GSO (Generic Segmentation Offload)` to work.
-
- * ``gro`` **(Generic Receive Offload):** Instructs the kernel to merge multiple
- incoming packets into one larger packet before passing it to upper protocol
- layers.
-
- Unlike LRO, GRO preserves the necessary packet metadata so the merged packet
- can be correctly split back into the original packets. This makes GRO safe for
- use on routers and bridges.
-
- :::{note}
-The exception is for IPv4 IDs. If the "Don't Fragment" (DF) bit is
-set and IDs are not sequential, {abbr}`GSO (Generic Segmentation Offload)`
-alters them to maintain a consistent sequence for {abbr}`GSO (Generic
-Segmentation Offload)` compatibility.
- :::
- * ``rps`` **(Receive Packet Steering):** Instructs the kernel to distribute
- the processing of incoming packets across multiple CPU cores.
-
- The kernel calculates a hash from packet headers (IP addresses and ports) to
- ensure packets from the same flow are processed by the same CPU core.
-
- :::{note}
-{abbr}`RPS (Receive Packet Steering)` is a software version of
-{abbr}`RSS (Receive Side Scaling)` and is useful for NICs without hardware
-multi-queue support.
- :::
- * ``sg`` **(Scatter-Gather/Scatter-Gather DMA):** Instructs the NIC to fetch
- data fragments from various RAM locations and transmit them as a single packet
- to the network, eliminating the need for the kernel to copy them into a
- contiguous block first.

-# Geneve
-
-{abbr}`Geneve (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation)` interfaces
-operate as virtual network ports. Administrators can apply standard network
-configurations on them, such as IP addressing, bridging, or firewall rules,
-just as they would on physical Ethernet ports.
-
-The Geneve protocol encapsulates Layer 2 Ethernet frames originating from
-endpoints such as virtual machines, containers, or physical servers inside UDP
-packets. It unifies the features of earlier encapsulation protocols, including
-VXLAN, NVGRE, and STT, and addresses their limitations, such as fixed header
-structures and a lack of metadata support. Because of its extensibility, Geneve
-may eventually replace those older protocols.
-
-Geneve tunnels are used to connect virtual switches residing within
-hypervisors, physical switches, middleboxes, and other network appliances.
-
-Geneve tunnels operate over any standard IP network. In larger deployments,
-the underlying network (underlay) is often built using a **Clos** topology,
-also known as a *leaf-and-spine* or *fat-tree* topology.

-# L2TPv3
-
-{abbr}`L2TPv3 (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol version 3)` interfaces let you
-establish L2TPv3 tunnels to transport Layer 2 traffic over IP networks.
-
-The L2TPv3 protocol (defined in RFC 3931) wraps Layer 2 frames (e.g., Ethernet,
-Frame Relay, HDLC) within IP packets, allowing them to traverse the underlying
-IP infrastructure.
-
-Unlike L2TPv2, which strictly requires UDP encapsulation, the L2TPv3 protocol
-is more flexible and supports two encapsulation types:
-
-> - **Direct IP:** Tunnel data is encapsulated directly inside IP packets
-> (Protocol 115) for lower overhead.
-> - **UDP:** Tunnel data is encapsulated inside a UDP datagram. This allows the
-> tunnel to traverse NAT more easily.
-
-L2TPv3 tunnels connect geographically separated sites, serving as a simpler
-alternative to {ref}`mpls` by operating over basic IP connectivity rather than
-requiring a full MPLS infrastructure.
-
-L2TPv3 tunnels can be established over both IPv4 and IPv6 underlying networks.
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Common interface configuration
-
-```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-common-without-dhcp.txt
-:var0: l2tpv3
-:var1: l2tpeth0
-```
-
-
-### L2TPv3 options
-
-Use the following commands to configure the L2TPv3 tunnel's specific parameters.
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces l2tpv3 \<interface\> encapsulation \<udp | ip\>
-
-**Configure the encapsulation type for the L2TPv3 tunnel.**
-
-Valid values are ``udp`` and ``ip``.
-
-The default encapsulation type is ``udp``.
-```
-
-:::{note}
-The encapsulation type must match on both the local and remote peers
-for the tunnel to establish.
-:::
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces l2tpv3 \<interface\> source-address \<address\>
-
-**Configure the L2TPv3 tunnel source IP address.**
-
-The specified address must be a local interface IP address and can be either
-IPv4 or IPv6.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces l2tpv3 \<interface\> remote \<address\>
-
-**Configure the L2TPv3 tunnel destination IP address.**
-
-The specified address must be a remote peer’s interface IP address and can be
-either IPv4 or IPv6.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces l2tpv3 \<interface\> session-id \<id\>
-
-**Configure the local session ID within the L2TPv3 tunnel.**
-
-The ``session-id`` is a 32-bit value that identifies an incoming tunnel session
-on the local peer.
-
-The ``peer-session-id`` that identifies this session on the remote peer must be
-set to the same value.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces l2tpv3 \<interface\> peer-session-id \<id\>
-
-**Configure the peer session ID within the L2TPv3 tunnel.**
-
-The ``peer-session-id`` is a 32-bit value that identifies an outgoing tunnel
-session from the local peer.
-
-The ``peer-session-id`` must match the ``session-id`` configured for this
-session on the remote peer.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces l2tpv3 \<interface\> tunnel-id \<id\>
-
-**Configure the local identifier for the L2TPv3 tunnel.**
-
-The ``tunnel-id`` is a 32-bit value that identifies the L2TPv3 tunnel on the
-local peer.
-
-The ``peer-tunnel-id`` that identifies this tunnel on the remote peer must be
-set to the same value.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces l2tpv3 \<interface\> peer-tunnel-id \<id\>
-
-**Configure the peer identifier for the L2TPv3 tunnel.**
-
-The ``peer-tunnel-id`` is a 32-bit value that identifies the L2TPv3 tunnel on
-the remote peer and must correspond to the ``tunnel-id`` configured for that
-tunnel on that peer.
-
-The ``peer-tunnel-id`` must match the ``tunnel-id`` that identifies this tunnel
-on the remote peer.
-```
-
-
-## Example
-
-### L2TPv3 tunnel with IP encapsulation
-
-The following example shows the configuration of an L2TPv3 tunnel using direct
-IP encapsulation:
-
-```none
-# show interfaces l2tpv3
-l2tpv3 l2tpeth10 {
- address 192.168.37.1/27
- encapsulation ip
- source-address 192.0.2.1
- peer-session-id 100
- peer-tunnel-id 200
- remote 203.0.113.24
- session-id 100
- tunnel-id 200
-}
-```
-
-The inverse configuration must be applied to the remote peer.
-
-### L2TPv3 tunnel with UDP encapsulation
-
-The following example shows the configuration of an L2TPv3 tunnel using UDP
-encapsulation.
-
-This setup is recommended when the tunnel traverses NAT devices.
-
-Configuration notes:
-- Use a local LAN IP address as the `source-address`.
-- Configure a forwarding rule to allow tunnel traffic on the specified UDP port
- on the upstream NAT device.
-- Use a distinct UDP port for each individual tunnel.
-
-```none
-# show interfaces l2tpv3
-l2tpv3 l2tpeth10 {
- address 192.168.37.1/27
- destination-port 9001
- encapsulation udp
- source-address 192.0.2.1
- peer-session-id 100
- peer-tunnel-id 200
- remote 203.0.113.24
- session-id 100
- source-port 9000

-Layer 2 networks, including DHCP and ARP requests. It does not compete with
-other security solutions, such as IPsec (Layer 3) or TLS (Layer 4), as each
-addresses distinct use cases.
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Common interface configuration
-
-```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-common-with-dhcp.txt
-:var0: macsec
-:var1: macsec0
-```
-
-
-### MACsec options
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces macsec \<interface\> security cipher \<gcm-aes-128|gcm-aes-256\>
-
-**Configure the cipher suite for the MACsec interface.**
-
-This configuration parameter is mandatory.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces macsec \<interface\> security encrypt
-
-**Enable encryption on the MACsec interface.**
-
-By default, MACsec interfaces only provide authentication; encryption is
-optional.
-When enabled, outgoing packets are encrypted using the configured cipher suite.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces macsec \<interface\> source-interface \<physical-source\>
-
-**Configure a physical source interface for the MACsec interface.**
-
-Traffic transmitted through this interface is authenticated and, if configured,
-encrypted.
-```
-
-
-#### MACsec key management
-
-**Static** {abbr}`SAK (Secure Authentication Key)` **mode**
-
-In static SAK mode, administrators must manually configure and update SAKs on
-each MACsec peer. {abbr}`MKA (MACsec Key Agreement protocol)` cannot be used in
-this mode.
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces macsec \<interface\> security static key \<key\>
-
-**Configure the Transmit (TX) SAK for the MACsec interface.**
-
-The key must be a 16-byte (GCM-AES-128) or 64-byte (GCM-AES-256) hexadecimal
-string.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces macsec \<interface\> security static peer \<peer\> mac \<mac address\>
-
-**Configure the MAC address associated with the MACsec peer.**
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces macsec \<interface\> security static peer \<peer\> key \<key\>
-
-**Configure the RX SAK for traffic from the MACsec peer.**
-
-The key must be a 16-byte (GCM-AES-128) or 64-byte (GCM-AES-256) hexadecimal
-string.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces macsec \<interface\> security static peer \<peer\> disable
-```
-
-**Dynamic** {abbr}`MKA (MACsec Key Agreement protocol)` **mode**
-
-In this mode, the {abbr}`MKA (MACsec Key Agreement protocol)` protocol is used
-to generate, distribute, and update {abbr}`CAKs (MACsec Connectivity
-Association Keys)`, and to authenticate MACsec peers.
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces macsec \<interface\> security mka cak \<key\>
-
-**Configure the** {abbr}`CAK (MACsec Connectivity Association Key)` **for the
-MACsec interface.**
-
-The {abbr}`CAK (MACsec Connectivity Association Key)` and its {abbr}`CKN
-(MACsec Connectivity Association Key Name)` form the pre-shared master key pair
-used to authenticate MACsec peers.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces macsec \<interface\> security mka ckn \<key\>
-
-Configure the {abbr}`CKN (MACsec Connectivity Association Key Name)` for the
-MACsec interface.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces macsec \<interface\> security mka priority \<priority\>
-
-Configure the MKA key server priority for the MACsec interface.
-The peer with the lowest priority is elected as the key server.
-```
-
-#### Replay protection
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces macsec \<interface\> security replay-window \<window\>
-
-The replay protection window defines how many out-of-order frames can be
-received before they are dropped as a potential replay attack.
-The following values are valid:
-- ``0``: Any out-of-order frame is immediately dropped.
-- ``1-4294967295``: Allows the specified number of out-of-order frames.
-```
-
-## Operation
-
-```{opcmd} run generate macsec mka cak \<gcm-aes-128|gcm-aes-256\>
-
-Generate a 128-bit (GCM-AES-128) or 256-bit (GCM-AES-256) {abbr}`MKA (MACsec

-## Examples
-
-**Site-to-site MACsec with dynamic MKA over an untrusted network**
-
-In the following example, two routers (R1 and R2) are connected via an
-untrusted switch, using their `eth1` interfaces as the underlay. The MACsec
-interface (`macsec1`) with dynamic MKA encrypts traffic between them.

-## MACsec over WAN
-
-MACsec offers an alternative to traditional tunneling solutions by securing
-Layer 2 with integrity, origin authentication, and optional encryption.
-
-While typically deployed between hosts and access switches, MACsec can also
-secure traffic over a WAN. In the following example, we combine VXLAN (for
-transport) and MACsec (for security) to create a secure tunnel between two
-sites.

-# Site-to-site
-
-:::{todo}
-Convert raw command blocks in this file to cfgcmd/opcmd directives for command coverage tracking.
-:::
-
-OpenVPN is popular for client-server setups, but its site-to-site mode is less common and often not supported by router appliances. Despite limited support, it is effective for quickly establishing tunnels between routers.
-
-As of VyOS 1.4, OpenVPN site-to-site mode can use either pre-shared keys or x.509 certificates.
-
-Pre-shared key mode is now deprecated and will be removed from future OpenVPN versions. VyOS will also discontinue support for this option because pre-shared keys are significantly less secure than TLS.
-
-We will configure OpenVPN with self-signed certificates, and then discuss the legacy pre-shared key mode.
-
-In both cases, we will use the following settings:
-
-- The public IP address of the local VPN endpoint is 198.51.100.10.
-- The public IP address of the remote VPN endpoint is 203.0.113.11.
-- The tunnel uses 10.255.1.1 for the local IP address and 10.255.1.2 for the remote IP address.
-- The local site has a subnet of 10.0.0.0/16.
-- The remote site has a subnet of 10.1.0.0/16.
-- The official OpenVPN port 1194 is reserved for client VPN. For site-to-site VPN, port 1195 is used.
-- The `persistent-tunnel` directive allows us to configure tunnel-related attributes, such as firewall policy, as we would on any standard network interface.
-- If known, the remote router\'s IP address can be configured using the `remote-host` directive. If unknown, it can be omitted. We assume the remote router has a dynamic IP address.

-
-## Set up site-to-site certificates
-
-Deploying a complete Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) with a Certificate Authority (CA) would overcomplicate site-to-site OpenVPN setups, which are primarily designed for simplicity. To keep their configuration simple without compromising security, VyOS 1.4 and later lets you verify self-signed certificates using certificate fingerprints.
-
-Generate a self-signed certificate on each router, preferably using the Elliptic Curve (EC) type. In configuration mode, run the following command: `run generate pki certificate self-signed install <name>`. This adds the certificate to the configuration session\'s `pki` subtree. Review and commit the changes.
-
-``` none
-vyos@vyos# run generate pki certificate self-signed install openvpn-local
-Enter private key type: [rsa, dsa, ec] (Default: rsa) ec
-Enter private key bits: (Default: 256)
-Enter country code: (Default: GB)
-Enter state: (Default: Some-State)
-Enter locality: (Default: Some-City)
-Enter organization name: (Default: VyOS)
-Enter common name: (Default: vyos.io)
-Do you want to configure Subject Alternative Names? [y/N]
-Enter how many days certificate will be valid: (Default: 365)
-Enter certificate type: (client, server) (Default: server)
-Note: If you plan to use the generated key on this router, do not encrypt the private key.

-You do **not** need to copy the certificate to the other router. Instead, retrieve its SHA-256 fingerprint. Since OpenVPN currently supports only SHA-256 fingerprints, use the following command:
-
-``` none
-vyos@vyos# run show pki certificate openvpn-local fingerprint sha256
-5C:B8:09:64:8B:59:51:DC:F4:DF:2C:12:5C:B7:03:D1:68:94:D7:5B:62:C2:E1:83:79:F1:F0:68:B2:81:26:79
-```
-
-::::{note}
-Certificate names are arbitrary. While `openvpn-local` and `openvpn-remote` are used here, you may choose any names.
-::::
-
-Repeat the procedure on the other router.

-
-## Set up pre-shared keys
-
-Before VyOS 1.4, site-to-site OpenVPN without PKI required pre-shared keys. This option is still available but is deprecated and will be removed in future releases. If you need to set up a tunnel to an older VyOS version or a system with older OpenVPN, you still need to use pre-shared keys.
-
-First, generate a key by running `run generate pki openvpn shared-secret install <name>` in configuration mode. You can use any name; in this example, we use `s2s`.
-
-``` none
-vyos@local# run generate pki openvpn shared-secret install s2s

-
-Next, install the key on the remote router:
-
-``` none
-vyos@remote# set pki openvpn shared-secret s2s key <generated key string>
-```
-
-Finally, configure the key in your OpenVPN interface settings:
-
-``` none
-set interfaces openvpn vtun1 shared-secret-key s2s
-```
-
-
-## Set up firewall exceptions
-
-To allow OpenVPN traffic to pass through the WAN interface, create a firewall exception:
-
-``` none
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 10 action 'accept'
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 10 description 'Allow established/related'
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 10 state 'established'
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 10 state 'related'
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 20 action 'accept'
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 20 description 'OpenVPN_IN'
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 20 destination port '1195'
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 20 log
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 20 protocol 'udp'
-```
-
-Apply the OUTSIDE_LOCAL firewall group to the WAN interface and to the input filter for traffic destined for the router itself:
-
-``` none
-set firewall ipv4 input filter rule 10 action 'jump'
-set firewall ipv4 input filter rule 10 inbound-interface name eth0
-set firewall ipv4 input filter rule 10 jump-target OUTSIDE_LOCAL
-```
-
-Static routing:
-
-Configure static routes by referencing the tunnel interface. For example, if the local router\'s network is `10.0.0.0/16` and the remote router\'s network is `10.1.0.0/16`, define the routes as follows:
-
-Local configuration:
-
-``` none
-set protocols static route 10.1.0.0/16 interface vtun1
-```
-
-Remote configuration:
-
-``` none
-set protocols static route 10.0.0.0/16 interface vtun1
-```
-
-As with standard Ethernet interfaces, you can apply firewall policies to the tunnel interface for input, output, and forward directions.
-
-If you use multiple tunnels, OpenVPN must distinguish between them beyond just the pre-shared key. To achieve this, assign either unique IP addresses or unique ports to each tunnel.
-
-Verify OpenVPN status using the show openvpn operational commands.
-
-``` none
-vyos@vyos:~$ show openvpn site-to-site
-
-OpenVPN status on vtun1
-
-Client CN Remote Host Tunnel IP Local Host TX bytes RX bytes Connected Since
------------ ----------------- ----------- ------------ ---------- ---------- -----------------
-N/A 10.110.12.54:1195 N/A N/A 504.0 B 656.0 B N/A
-```
-
-
-### Server-client
-
-In OpenVPN's server-client mode, the server acts as a central hub, allowing multiple clients to connect and securely route their traffic or access a private network. Multi-client server is the most popular OpenVPN mode for routers.
-
-## Set up server-client certificates
-
-Server-client mode always uses x.509 authentication and therefore requires a PKI setup. The PKI utility now simplifies the creation of Certificate Authorities (CAs), server and client certificates, and Diffie-Hellman keys directly in VyOS using configuration or operational mode commands.
-
-On the server, generate all certificates by running the following commands in configuration mode. The certificates will be added to the configuration session\'s PKI subtree.
-
-Certificate Authority (CA):
-
-``` none
-vyos@vyos# run generate pki ca install ca-1
-Enter private key type: [rsa, dsa, ec] (Default: rsa)
-Enter private key bits: (Default: 2048)
-Enter country code: (Default: GB)
-Enter state: (Default: Some-State)
-Enter locality: (Default: Some-City)
-Enter organization name: (Default: VyOS)
-Enter common name: (Default: vyos.io) ca-1
-Enter how many days certificate will be valid: (Default: 1825)
-Note: If you plan to use the generated key on this router, do not encrypt the private key.
-Do you want to encrypt the private key with a passphrase? [y/N]
-2 value(s) installed. Use "compare" to see the pending changes, and "commit" to apply.

-For more options, refer to {ref}`configuration/pki/index:pki`.
-
-## Set up server-client OpenVPN
-
-The following example demonstrates the most complicated scenario: each client acts as a router with its own subnet (e.g., an HQ and multiple branch offices). Simpler setups are subsets of it.
-
-In this scenario, the 10.23.1.0/24 network is used for client tunnel endpoints, and all client subnets belong to 10.23.0.0/20. Each client needs access to the 192.168.0.0/16 network.
-
-Server configuration:
-
-``` none
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 encryption data-ciphers 'aes256'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 hash 'sha512'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 local-host '172.18.201.10'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 local-port '1194'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 mode 'server'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 persistent-tunnel
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 protocol 'udp'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server client client1 ip '10.23.1.10'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server client client1 subnet '10.23.2.0/25'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server domain-name 'vyos.net'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server max-connections '250'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server name-server '172.16.254.30'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server subnet '10.23.1.0/24'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server topology 'subnet'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls ca-certificate ca-1
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls certificate srv-1
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls dh-params dh-1
-```
-
-The configuration above uses the default 1194/UDP port, 256-bit AES encryption, SHA-512 for HMAC authentication, and the persistent-tunnel option. Persistent-tunnel is recommended as it keeps the TUN/TAP device active during connection resets or daemon reloads. Clients are identified by the CN attribute in their SSL certificates.
-
-To grant clients access to a specific network behind the router, use the push-route option to automatically install the appropriate route on each client.
-
-``` none
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server push-route 192.168.0.0/16
-```
-
-OpenVPN does not automatically create kernel routes for client subnets when clients connect; it only uses client-subnet association internally. Therefore, you must manually create a route to the 10.23.0.0/20 network:
-
-``` none
-set protocols static route 10.23.0.0/20 interface vtun10
-```
-
-
-## Set up OpenVPN client
-
-VyOS can operate not only as an OpenVPN site-to-site peer or a server for multiple clients, but also as an OpenVPN client. Any VyOS OpenVPN interface can be configured to connect to another VyOS or third-party OpenVPN server.
-
-Client configuration:
-
-``` none
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 encryption data-ciphers 'aes256'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 hash 'sha512'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 mode 'client'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 persistent-tunnel
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 protocol 'udp'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 remote-host '172.18.201.10'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 remote-port '1194'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls ca-certificate ca-1
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls certificate client1
-```
-
-
-## Verification
-
-Check the tunnel status:
-
-``` none
-vyos@vyos:~$ show openvpn server
-
-OpenVPN status on vtun10
-
-Client CN Remote Host Tunnel IP Local Host TX bytes RX bytes Connected Since
------------ ------------------ ----------- ---------------- ---------- ---------- -------------------

-```
-
-
-### Server bridge
-
-In Ethernet bridging configurations, an OpenVPN interface operating in server mode with the device type set to TAP can be added to a bridge. By encapsulating entire Ethernet frames (up to 1514 bytes) rather than just IP packets (up to 1500 bytes), this setup enables clients to transmit Layer 2 frames through the OpenVPN tunnel.
-
-The following is a basic configuration example:
-
-Server side:
-
-``` none
-set interfaces bridge br10 member interface eth1.10
-set interfaces bridge br10 member interface vtun10
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 device-type 'tap'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 encryption data-ciphers 'aes192'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 hash 'sha256'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 local-host '172.18.201.10'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 local-port '1194'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 mode 'server'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server bridge gateway '10.10.0.1'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server bridge start '10.10.0.100'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server bridge stop '10.10.0.200'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server bridge subnet-mask '255.255.255.0'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server topology 'subnet'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls ca-certificate 'ca-1'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls certificate 'srv-1'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls dh-params 'dh-1'
-```
-
-Client side:
-
-``` none
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 device-type 'tap'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 encryption data-ciphers 'aes192'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 hash 'sha256'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 mode 'client'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 protocol 'udp'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 remote-host '172.18.201.10'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 remote-port '1194'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls ca-certificate 'ca-1'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls certificate 'client-1'
-```
-
-
-### Server LDAP authentication
-
-## LDAP
-
-Enterprise installations usually include a directory service to centralize employee password management. VyOS and OpenVPN support using LDAP and Active Directory as a single user backend.
-
-Authentication is performed by the `openvpn-auth-ldap.so` plugin, included with every VyOS installation. To use it, you must create a dedicated configuration file.
-**Best practice:** Store the configuration file in the `/config` directory to ensure it is preserved after image updates.
-
-``` none
-set interfaces openvpn vtun0 openvpn-option "--plugin /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-ldap.so /config/auth/ldap-auth.config"
-```
-
-A sample configuration file is shown below:
-
-``` none
-<LDAP>
-# LDAP server URL
-URL ldap://ldap.example.com
-# Bind DN (If your LDAP server doesn't support anonymous binds)
-BindDN cn=LDAPUser,dc=example,dc=com
-# Bind Password password
-Password S3cr3t
-# Network timeout (in seconds)
-Timeout 15
-</LDAP>
-
-<Authorization>
-# Base DN
-BaseDN "ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"
-# User Search Filter
-SearchFilter "(&(uid=%u)(objectClass=shadowAccount))"
-# Require Group Membership - allow all users
-RequireGroup false
-</Authorization>
-```
-
-
-### Active Directory
-
-A sample configuration file is shown below:
-
-``` none
-<LDAP>
- # LDAP server URL
- URL ldap://dc01.example.com
- # Bind DN (If your LDAP server doesn’t support anonymous binds)
- BindDN CN=LDAPUser,DC=example,DC=com
- # Bind Password
- Password mysecretpassword
- # Network timeout (in seconds)
- Timeout 15
- # Enable Start TLS
- TLSEnable no
- # Follow LDAP Referrals (anonymously)
- FollowReferrals no
-</LDAP>
-
-<Authorization>
- # Base DN
- BaseDN "DC=example,DC=com"
- # User Search Filter, user must be a member of the VPN AD group
- SearchFilter "(&(sAMAccountName=%u)(memberOf=CN=VPN,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com))"
- # Require Group Membership
- RequireGroup false # already handled by SearchFilter
- <Group>
- BaseDN "OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com"
- SearchFilter "(|(cn=VPN))"
- MemberAttribute memberOf
- </Group>
-</Authorization>
-```
-
-If you only want to check that the user account is enabled and can authenticate (against the primary group), the following snippet is sufficient:
-
-``` none
-<LDAP>
- URL ldap://dc01.example.com
- BindDN CN=SA_OPENVPN,OU=ServiceAccounts,DC=example,DC=com
- Password ThisIsTopSecret
- Timeout 15
- TLSEnable no
- FollowReferrals no
-</LDAP>
-
-<Authorization>
- BaseDN "DC=example,DC=com"
- SearchFilter "sAMAccountName=%u"
- RequireGroup false
-</Authorization>
-```
-
-A complete example of an LDAP authentication configuration for OpenVPN is shown below:
-
-``` none
-vyos@vyos# show interfaces openvpn
- openvpn vtun0 {
- mode server
- openvpn-option "--tun-mtu 1500 --fragment 1300 --mssfix"
- openvpn-option "--plugin /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-ldap.so /config/auth/ldap-auth.config"
- openvpn-option "--push redirect-gateway"
- openvpn-option --duplicate-cn
- openvpn-option "--verify-client-cert none"
- openvpn-option --comp-lzo
- openvpn-option --persist-key
- openvpn-option --persist-tun
- server {
- domain-name example.com
- max-connections 5
- name-server 203.0.113.0.10
- name-server 198.51.100.3
- subnet 172.18.100.128/29
- }
- tls {
- ca-certificate ca.crt
- certificate server.crt
- dh-params dh1024.pem
- }
- }
-```
-
-For a detailed example, refer to {doc}`OpenVPN with LDAP</configexamples/autotest/OpenVPN_with_LDAP/OpenVPN_with_LDAP>`.
-
-### Multi-factor authentication
-
-VyOS supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) or two-factor authentication using Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP). It is compatible with Google Authenticator and other software tokens.
-
-## Server side
-
-``` none
-set interfaces openvpn vtun20 encryption cipher 'aes256'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun20 hash 'sha512'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun20 mode 'server'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun20 persistent-tunnel
-set interfaces openvpn vtun20 server client user1
-set interfaces openvpn vtun20 server mfa totp challenge 'disable'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun20 server subnet '10.10.2.0/24'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun20 server topology 'subnet'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun20 tls ca-certificate 'openvpn_vtun20'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun20 tls certificate 'openvpn_vtun20'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun20 tls dh-params 'dh-pem'
-```
-
-A TOTP secret is created for each client in the OpenVPN server configuration. To display authentication information, use the following command: `show interfaces openvpn vtun20 user user1 mfa qrcode`.
-
-Example:
-
-``` none
-vyos@vyos:~$ sh interfaces openvpn vtun20 user user1 mfa qrcode

-```
-
-Scan the QR code to add the user account to Google Authenticator. On the client side, use the generated OTP as the password.
-
-### Authentication with username/password
-
-An OpenVPN server can securely obtain a username and password from a connecting client and use this information for authentication.
-
-First, configure the server to use an authentication plugin or script. The server calls this plugin every time a client tries to connect, passing it the client\'s credentials.
-
-In the following example, the `--auth-user-pass-verify` directive is used with the via-env method and a specified script path to validate the client\'s username and password.
-
-## Server configuration
-
-``` none
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 local-port '1194'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 mode 'server'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 openvpn-option '--auth-user-pass-verify /config/auth/check_user.sh via-env'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 openvpn-option '--script-security 3'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 persistent-tunnel
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 protocol 'udp'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server client client-1 ip '10.10.10.55'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server push-route 192.0.2.0/24
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server subnet '10.10.10.0/24'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 server topology 'subnet'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls ca-certificate 'ca-1'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls certificate 'srv-1'
-set interfaces openvpn vtun10 tls dh-params 'dh-1'
-```
-
-The /config/auth/check_user.sh example includes two test users:
-
-``` none
-#!/bin/bash
-USERNAME="$username"
-PASSWORD="$password"
-
-# Replace this with real user checking logic or use getent
-if [[ "$USERNAME" == "client1" && "$PASSWORD" == "pass123" ]]; then
- exit 0
-elif [[ "$USERNAME" == "peter" && "$PASSWORD" == "qwerty" ]]; then
- exit 0
-else
- exit 1
-fi
-```
-
-
-## Client configuration
-
-Storing the client certificate locally lets you generate the OpenVPN client configuration file. Use the following command:
-
-``` none
-vyos@vyos:~$ generate openvpn client-config interface vtun10 ca ca-1 certificate client1
-```
-
-Copy the output and save it as a .ovpn file. Add the `auth-user-pass` directive to the file. This instructs the OpenVPN client to prompt the user for a username and password, which are then sent to the server over the TLS channel. You can now import this file into any OpenVPN client application.
-

-# OpenVPN
-
-Traditionally, hardware routers use IPsec exclusively because it is easy to
-implement in hardware, and their CPUs lack sufficient power for software-based
-encryption. This limitation is less relevant for VyOS, as it is a software
-router.
-
-OpenVPN has been widely used on UNIX platforms for a long time and is a popular
-choice for remote-access VPNs. It also supports site-to-site connections.
-
-OpenVPN offers the following advantages:
-
-- It uses a single TCP or UDP connection and does not rely on packet source
- addresses, so it works even through double NAT. This makes it well-suited for
- public hotspots.
-- It is easy to set up and offers very flexible split tunneling.
-- A variety of client GUI frontends are available for any platform.
-
-Disadvantages include:
-
-- It is slower than IPsec due to higher protocol overhead and because it runs
- in user mode, while IPsec on Linux runs in kernel mode.
-- No operating system includes OpenVPN client software by default.
-
-In the VyOS CLI, OpenVPN is configured as a network interface using `set
-interfaces openvpn` rather than `set vpn`, which is often overlooked.
-
-## Configuration
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> authentication password \<text\>
-
- **Configure the password for the** ``auth-user-pass`` **authentication method.**
-
- This option applies only to OpenVPN clients.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> authentication username \<text\>
-
-**Configure the username for the** ``auth-user-pass`` **authentication method.**
-
-This option applies only to OpenVPN clients.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> description \<description\>
-
-Configure the description for the OpenVPN interface.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> device-type \<tap | tun\>
-
-**Configure the virtual network device type for the OpenVPN interface:**
-
-* ``tun`` **(default)**: Operates at Layer 3, encapsulating IPv4 or IPv6 packets.
-* ``tap``: Operates at Layer 2, encapsulating Ethernet 802.3 frames.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> disable
-
-Disable the specific OpenVPN interface.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> encryption cipher \< 3des | aes128 | aes128gcm | aes192 | aes192gcm | aes256 | aes256gcm | none \>
-
-**Configure the static encryption cipher for the OpenVPN tunnel.**
-
-The ``cipher`` option maps to OpenVPN’s ``--cipher`` directive and specifies
-the symmetric encryption algorithm for both control and data channels.
-
-This was previously the default encryption method in all OpenVPN modes. In
-newer OpenVPN versions, the ``--cipher`` directive is considered **legacy**
-and should be used only in compatibility scenarios.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> encryption data-ciphers \< 3des | aes128 | aes128gcm | aes192 | aes192gcm | aes256 | aes256gcm | none \>
-
-**Configure a prioritized list of negotiated ciphers for OpenVPN in**
-``client`` **or** ``server`` **mode.**
-
-The ``data-ciphers`` option represents a list of supported encryption
-algorithms. It corresponds to OpenVPN’s ``--data-ciphers`` directive and
-enables cipher negotiation, where both peers automatically agree on a mutually
-supported cipher during session startup.
-
-:::{note}
-This option is not compatible with ``site-to-site`` mode.
-:::
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> encryption data-ciphers-fallback \< 3des | aes128 | aes128gcm | aes192 | aes192gcm | aes256 | aes256gcm | none \>
-
-**Configure the fallback cipher for** ``site-to-site`` **mode.**
-
-The ``data-ciphers-fallback`` option maps to OpenVPN’s ``--data-ciphers-
-fallback`` directive. It defines the cipher to use if negotiation is **not
-supported**.
-
-:::{note}
-This option ensures consistent encryption between two static peers
-without cipher negotiation capability.
-:::
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> hash \<md5 | sha1 | sha256 | ...\>
-
-Configure the hashing algorithm for the OpenVPN interface.
-```
-
-
-```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-ip.txt
-:var0: openvpn
-:var1: vtun0
-```
-
-
-```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-ipv6.txt
-:var0: openvpn
-:var1: vtun0
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> keep-alive failure-count \<value\>
-
-**Configure the number of tolerated keepalive packet failures.**
-
-Default: 60 consecutive failures.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> keep-alive interval \<value\>
-
-**Configure the frequency, in seconds, at which keepalive packets are sent.**
-
-Default: 10 seconds.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> local-address \<address\>
-
-Configure the local tunnel IP address for ``site-to-site`` mode.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> local-host \<address\>
-
-**Configure the local IP address to accept connections.**
-
-If configured, OpenVPN binds to this IP address only.
-
-By default, OpenVPN binds to all interfaces.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> local-port \<port\>
-
-Configure the local port to accept connections.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> mirror egress \<monitor-interface\>
-
-Configure mirroring of outgoing traffic from this OpenVPN interface to the
-designated monitor interface.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> mirror ingress \<monitor-interface\>
-
-Configure mirroring of incoming traffic from this OpenVPN interface to the
-designated monitor interface.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> mode \<site-to-site | server | client\>
-
-**Configure OpenVPN operation mode:**
-
-* ``site-to-site``: Establishes a site-to-site VPN connection.
-* ``client``: Operates as a client in server-client mode.
-* ``server``: Operates as a server in server-client mode.
-```
-
-### OpenVPN Data Channel Offload (DCO)
-
-OpenVPN {abbr}`DCO (Data Channel Offload)` improves the performance of
-encrypted OpenVPN data processing by keeping most data handling in the kernel
-and avoiding frequent context switches between the kernel and user space.
-
-As a result, packet processing becomes more efficient and may utilize hardware
-encryption offload support available in the kernel.
-
-:::{note}
-- {abbr}`DCO (Data Channel Offload)` is an **experimental**, not fully supported
- OpenVPN feature. Some OpenVPN features and deployment scenarios are **not
- compatible** with {abbr}`DCO (Data Channel Offload)`.
-
- For a complete list of supported features, visit:
- <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/DataChannelOffload/Features>
-- {abbr}`DCO (Data Channel Offload)` is configured per tunnel and disabled
- by default. Existing tunnels operate without {abbr}`DCO (Data Channel
- Offload)` unless it is explicitly enabled.
-- Enabling {abbr}`DCO (Data Channel Offload)` resets the interface.
-:::
-
-**Best practice:** Create a new tunnel with {abbr}`DCO (Data Channel Offload)`
-enabled to avoid compatibility issues with existing clients.
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> offload dco
-
- **Enable** {abbr}`DCO (Data Channel Offload)` **for the specified OpenVPN
- interface.**
-
- Example:
-
- :::{code-block} none
- set interfaces openvpn vtun0 offload dco
- :::
- This command enables {abbr}`DCO (Data Channel Offload)` and loads the required
- kernel module.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> openvpn-option \<text\>
-
-**Add raw OpenVPN configuration options to the openvpn.conf file.**
-
-OpenVPN provides many configuration options, but not all are available in the
-VyOS CLI.
-
-If a required option is missing, you may submit a feature request at
-Phabricator so all users can benefit from it (see Contributing/Issues and Features).
-
-Alternatively, use ``openvpn-option`` to pass raw OpenVPN configuration options
-to the openvpn.conf file.
-
-:::{warning}
-Use this option only as a last resort. Invalid options or syntax
-may prevent OpenVPN from starting. Check system logs for errors after applying
-changes.
-:::
-Example:
-
-:::{code-block} none
-set interfaces openvpn vtun0 openvpn-option 'persist-key'
-:::
-This command adds ``persist-key`` to the configuration file. This solves the
-problem by persisting keys across resets, so they do not need to be re-read.
-
-:::{code-block} none
-set interfaces openvpn vtun0 openvpn-option 'route-up &quot;/config/auth/tun_up.sh arg1&quot;'
-:::
-This command adds ``route-up "/config/auth/tun_up.sh arg1"`` to the
-configuration file. This option is executed after connection authentication,
-either immediately or after a short delay, as defined.
-
-Ensure the path and arguments are enclosed in single or double quotes.
-
-:::{note}
-Some raw configuration options require quotes. To include them, use
-the " statement.
-:::
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> persistent-tunnel
-
-**Enable always-active mode for the TUN/TAP device.**
-
-When enabled, the TUN/TAP device remains active upon connection resets or
-daemon reloads.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces openvpn \<interface\> protocol \<udp | tcp-passive | tcp-active \>
-
-**Configure the protocol for OpenVPN communication with a remote host:**
-
-* ``udp`` **(default)**: Uses the UDP protocol.
-* ``tcp-passive``: Uses the TCP protocol and accepts connections passively.
-* ``tcp-active``: Uses the TCP protocol and initiates connections actively.
-```

-
-
-### PPPoE options
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> access-concentrator \<name\>
-
-**Configure the name of the target access concentrator for the PPPoE session.**
-
-During the PPPoE discovery process, the client sends a PPPoE initiation packet.
-Multiple access concentrators may respond with offer packets, and the client
-selects one of them.
-
-This setting restricts the client to establishing sessions only with the
-specified access concentrator.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> authentication username \<username\>
-
-**Configure the username for PPPoE session authentication.**
-
-Although authentication is optional in the interface configuration, most ISPs
-require it to establish a connection.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> authentication password \<password\>
-
-**Configure the password for PPPoE session authentication.**
-
-Although authentication is optional in the interface configuration, most ISPs
-require it to establish a connection.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> connect-on-demand
-
-**Enable dial-on-demand on the PPPoE interface.**
-
-When enabled, the system establishes a PPPoE connection only when traffic
-passes through the interface. If the connection fails, it is reestablished when
-traffic resumes.
-
-For on-demand connections, you must also configure an ``idle-timeout`` period
-to disconnect the session after inactivity.
-
-:::{note}
-Setting the idle timeout to zero, or leaving it unconfigured, keeps
-the connection active continuously once established.
-:::
-
-By default, the PPPoE connection is established at boot and remains active
-continuously; if the connection fails, it is reestablished immediately.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> no-default-route
-
-Request an IP address from the PPPoE server without installing a default route.
-
-Example:
-
-:::{code-block} none
-set interfaces pppoe pppoe0 no-default-route
-:::
-
-:::{note}
-Introduced in VyOS 1.4, this command inverts the logic of the former
-``default-route`` CLI option.
-:::
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> default-route-distance \<distance\>
-
-Configure the distance for the default gateway provided by the PPPoE server.
-
-Example:
-
-:::{code-block} none
-set interfaces pppoe pppoe0 default-route-distance 220
-:::
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> mru \<mru\>
-
-**Configure the** {abbr}`MRU (Maximum Receive Unit)` **for the PPPoE
-interface.**
-
-This setting instructs the pppd daemon to restrict the remote peer from sending
-packets larger than the configured MRU. Allowed MRU values range from 128 to
-16384 bytes.
-
-An MRU of 296 is suitable for very slow links (40 bytes for the TCP/IP header
-and 256 bytes for data).
-
-The default MRU is 1492 bytes.
-
-:::{note}
-When using the IPv6 protocol, the MRU must be at least 1280 bytes.
-:::
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> idle-timeout \<time\>
-
-**Configure the idle timeout for on-demand PPPoE sessions.**
-
-This setting defines how long the connection remains active without any traffic
-before being disconnected.
-
-:::{note}
-Setting the idle timeout to zero, or leaving it unconfigured, keeps
-the connection active continuously once established.
-:::
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> holdoff \<time\>
-
-**Configure the redial delay for persistent PPPoE sessions.**
-
-If a persistent session (with ``connect-on-demand`` disabled) is terminated by
-the remote peer or drops unexpectedly, the router waits the specified interval
-before attempting to reconnect.
-
-The default redial delay is 30 seconds.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> local-address \<address\>
-
-**Configure the local endpoint IP address for PPPoE sessions.**
-
-By default, this IP address is negotiated.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> no-peer-dns
-
-Disable the installation of advertised DNS nameservers on the local system.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> remote-address \<address\>
-
-**Configure the remote endpoint IP address for PPPoE sessions.**
-
-By default, this IP address is negotiated.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> service-name \<name\>
-
-**Configure the service name of the target access concentrator for the PPPoE
-session.**
-
-By default, the PPPoE interface connects to any available access concentrator.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> source-interface \<source-interface\>
-
-**Configure the underlying interface for the PPPoE connection.**
-
-Each PPPoE connection is established over an underlying interface, which can be
-an Ethernet interface, a VIF, or a bonding interface.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> ip adjust-mss \<mss | clamp-mss-to-pmtu\>
-
-**Configure the** {abbr}`MSS (Maximum Segment Size)` **advertised in outgoing
-TCP SYN packets on the specified interface.**
-
-By clamping the MSS value in TCP SYN packets, you instruct the remote side not
-to send packets larger than the specified size. This helps prevent connection
-issues if {abbr}`PMTUD (Path MTU Discovery)` fails.
-
-The following options are available:
-
-* ``mss``: Sets the MSS to a specific value in bytes.
-* ``clamp-mss-to-pmtu``: Sets the MSS to the interface’s MTU minus 40 bytes for
- IPv4 traffic (20 bytes for the IPv4 header and 20 bytes for the TCP header).
- This option is recommended to automatically set the proper value.
-
-:::{note}
-Introduced in VyOS 1.4, this command replaces the older ``set firewall
-options interface <name> adjust-mss <value>`` syntax.
-:::
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> ip disable-forwarding
-
-**Configure the interface for host or router behavior.**
-
-If configured, the interface switches to host mode, and IPv4 forwarding is
-disabled on it.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> ip source-validation \<strict | loose | disable\>
-
-**Configure source IP address validation using**
-{abbr}`RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding)` **on this interface, as specified in**
-{rfc}`3704`.
-
-The following options are available:
-
-* ``strict``: Each incoming packet’s source IP address is checked against the
- {abbr}`FIB (Forwarding Information Base)`. If the interface is not the best
- route back to that source, validation fails, and the packet is dropped.
-* ``loose``: Each incoming packet’s source IP address is checked against the
- {abbr}`FIB (Forwarding Information Base)`. If the source IP address is
- unreachable through any interface, validation fails.
-* ``disable``: No source IP address validation is performed. All incoming
- packets are accepted.
-
-{rfc}`3704` recommends enabling ``strict`` mode to prevent IP spoofing, such as
-DDoS attacks. For asymmetric or other complex routing scenarios, use ``loose``
-mode.
-```
-
-
-#### IPv6
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> ipv6 address autoconf
-
-Enable IPv6 address assignment via {abbr}`SLAAC (Stateless Address
-Auto-Configuration)` on this interface.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pppoe \<interface\> ipv6 adjust-mss \<mss | clamp-mss-to-pmtu\>
-
-**Configure the** {abbr}`MSS (Maximum Segment Size)` **advertised in outgoing
-TCP SYN packets on the specified interface.**
-
-By clamping the MSS value in TCP SYN packets, you instruct the remote side not
-to send packets larger than the specified size. This helps prevent connection
-issues if {abbr}`PMTUD (Path MTU Discovery)` fails.
-
-The following options are available:

-* ``mss``: Sets the MSS to a specific value in bytes.
-* ``clamp-mss-to-pmtu``: Sets the MSS to the interface’s MTU minus 60 bytes for
- IPv6 traffic (40 bytes for the IPv6 header and 20 bytes for the TCP header).
- This option is recommended to automatically set the proper value.
-
-:::{note}

-## Example
-
-### PPPoE over DSL
-
-**Configuration scenario:**
-
-- Your ISP's DSL modem is connected to the `eth0` interface on your VyOS
- router.
-- Your ISP does not require VLAN tagging.
-- PPPoE credentials are provided by your ISP. The typical username format is
- `name@host.net`, though this may vary.
-
-**Configuration notes:**
-
-- The maximum MTU size for DSL is 1492 because of PPPoE overhead. If you are
- switching from a DHCP-based ISP (e.g., a standard cable connection), ensure
- VPN links have MTU sizes adjusted accordingly.
-- To ignore ISP-provided nameservers and use only your statically configured
- ones, set the `name-server` option to `none`.
-- A default route is automatically installed once the interface is up. To
- change this behavior, use the `no-default-route` CLI option.
-
-:::{note}
-The PPPoE configuration syntax changed after VyOS 1.2 (Crux) and is
-automatically migrated during an upgrade.
-:::
-
-```none
-set interfaces pppoe pppoe0 authentication username 'userid'
-set interfaces pppoe pppoe0 authentication password 'secret'
-set interfaces pppoe pppoe0 source-interface 'eth0'
-```
-
-Secure your setup by creating rules matching the `pppoe0` interface in the
-firewall chains:
-
-```none
-set firewall ipv4 input filter rule 10 inbound-interface name 'pppoe0'
-set firewall ipv4 forward filter rule 10 inbound-interface name 'pppoe0'
-```
-
-
-### PPPoE over VLAN
-
-Some ISPs require PPPoE connections to be
-established over a VLAN interface. This specific topology is fully supported by
-VyOS.
-
-The following configuration establishes the PPPoE connection through VLAN 7,
-which is the default VLAN for Deutsche Telekom:
-
-```none
-set interfaces pppoe pppoe0 authentication username 'userid'
-set interfaces pppoe pppoe0 authentication password 'secret'
-set interfaces pppoe pppoe0 source-interface 'eth0.7'
-```
-
-
-#### IPv6 DHCPv6 prefix delegation
-
-**Configuration scenario:**
-
-The following configuration establishes a PPPoE session on the `eth1`
-interface, requests a `/56` IPv6 prefix delegation from the ISP, and assigns
-a `/64` subnet from that delegation to the `eth0` interface.
-
-**Configuration notes:**
-
-- The IPv6 address assigned to `eth0` is `<prefix>::1/64`.
-- If you do not know your delegated prefix size, begin with `sla-len 0`.
-- To advertise the prefix on the `eth0` link, configure IPv6 Router
- Advertisement.
-
-```none
-set interfaces pppoe pppoe0 authentication username vyos
-set interfaces pppoe pppoe0 authentication password vyos
-set interfaces pppoe pppoe0 dhcpv6-options pd 0 interface eth0 address '1'

-# MACVLAN (pseudo-Ethernet)
-
-MACVLAN, or pseudo-Ethernet interfaces, operate as logical subinterfaces of
-standard Ethernet interfaces. Each subinterface has a unique MAC address but
-shares a single physical Ethernet port.
-That allows the user to send packets from different source IPv4 or IPv6 addresses
-using a different MAC address.
-
-Pseudo-Ethernet interfaces behave like physical Ethernet interfaces. They
-support IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, can obtain IP addresses through DHCP or
-DHCPv6, and are mapped to a physical Ethernet port. They inherit
-characteristics such as speed and duplex from their parent interface and can
-be referenced like standard Ethernet interfaces once created.
-
-```{eval-rst}
-Pseudo-Ethernet interfaces may not work in environments that require a
- :abbr:`NIC (Network Interface Card)` to have only one MAC address.
- This includes:
-
- * VMware machines with default settings.
- * Network switches that permit only a single MAC address.
- * xDSL modems that learn the NIC's MAC address.

-# Tunnel
-
-Tunnel interfaces are virtual links that transmit encapsulated traffic between
-private networks or hosts across public infrastructure, such as the Internet.
-They operate using encapsulation protocols to wrap original traffic for
-transport. The supported protocols include {abbr}`GRE (Generic Routing
-Encapsulation)`, IPIP, IPIP6, IP6IP6, and 6in4 (SIT).
-
-While {abbr}`GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)` is often the preferred
-one-size-fits-all solution due to its versatility, other encapsulation
-protocols may be better suited for specific use cases.
-
-VyOS uses a single tunnel interface type for all of these protocols. There are
-no separate {abbr}`GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)`, IPIP, or IP6IP6
-interface types; instead, the desired encapsulation protocol is selected within
-the `set interfaces tunnel` configuration.
-
-Configuration options for each protocol are described below.
-
-:::{warning}
-Do not change the encapsulation type for already configured tunnel
-interfaces, as this may break their dependent configurations.
-:::
-
-## Common interface configuration
-
-```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-address.txt
-:var0: tunnel
-:var1: tun0
-```
-
-```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-common-without-mac.txt
-:var0: tunnel
-:var1: tun0
-```
-
-
-## IPIP
-
-IPIP is a straightforward encapsulation protocol defined in RFC 2003. It
-encapsulates one IPv4 packet inside another IPv4 packet.
-
-Tunnels with IPIP encapsulation do not have protocol-specific configuration
-options except for explicitly defining the encapsulation type as IPIP (see
-the example below).
-
-Example:
-
-```none
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 encapsulation ipip
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 source-address 192.0.2.10
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 remote 203.0.113.20
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 address 192.168.100.200/24
-```
-
-
-## IP6IP6
-
-IP6IP6 is the IPv6 counterpart to IPIP. It encapsulates one IPv6 packet inside
-another IPv6 packet.
-
-Similar to their IPIP counterparts, tunnels with IP6IP6 encapsulation do not
-have protocol-specific configuration options except for explicitly defining
-the encapsulation type as IP6IP6.
-
-Example:
-
-```none
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 encapsulation ip6ip6
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 source-address 2001:db8:aa::1
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 remote 2001:db8:aa::2
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 address 2001:db8:bb::1/64
-```
-
-
-## IPIP6
-
-IPIP6 is an encapsulation protocol that wraps IPv4 packets inside IPv6 packets.
-
-Similar to IPIP and IP6IP6, protocol-specific configuration for tunnels with
-IPIP6 encapsulation only requires defining the encapsulation type as IP6IP6.
-
-Example:
-
-```none
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 encapsulation ipip6
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 source-address 2001:db8:aa::1
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 remote 2001:db8:aa::2
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 address 192.168.70.80/24
-```
-
-
-## 6in4 (SIT)
-
-6in4, also known as {abbr}`SIT (Simple Internet Transition)`, is an
-encapsulation protocol defined in {rfc}`4213` that wraps IPv6 packets
-inside IPv4 packets. The encapsulating IPv4 headers use IP protocol number 41,
-which is reserved exclusively for IPv6 encapsulation.
-
-The encapsulation process adds a 20-byte IPv4 header to each IPv6 packet.
-Consequently, 6in4 tunnel interfaces can transmit IPv6 packets up to 1480 bytes
-over an underlying network with a standard MTU of 1500 bytes without
-fragmentation.
-
-6in4 tunnel interfaces are frequently used by IPv6 tunnel brokers (such as
-[Hurricane Electric]) to connect isolated IPv6 networks or individual hosts to
-the IPv6 internet.
-
-Example:
-
-```none
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 encapsulation sit

-## Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)
-
-{abbr}`GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)` is a versatile encapsulation
-protocol defined in RFC 2784. Unlike simpler protocols such as IPIP, it allows
-both IPv4 and IPv6 to be transported through the same tunnel.
-
-{abbr}`GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)` encapsulates original data packets
-by adding a {abbr}`GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)` header, followed by an
-IP header (the delivery header). The delivery header uses IP protocol number 47
-to identify {abbr}`GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)`-encapsulated traffic.
-
-In VyOS, {abbr}`GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)` tunnels can be established
-over both IPv4 (encapsulation `gre`) and IPv6 (encapsulation `ip6gre`)
-transport networks.
-
-### Configuration
-
-To configure a {abbr}`GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)` tunnel, you need to
-define a tunnel source IP address, a tunnel destination IP address, an
-encapsulation type ({abbr}`GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)`), and a tunnel
-interface IP address.
-
-Example:
-
-The following example shows how to configure an IPv4/IPv6-over-IPv6 {abbr}`GRE
-(Generic Routing Encapsulation)` tunnel between a VyOS router and a Linux host
-running `systemd-networkd`.
-
-**VyOS router:**
-
-```none
-set interfaces tunnel tun101 address '2001:db8:feed:beef::1/126'
-set interfaces tunnel tun101 address '192.168.5.1/30'
-set interfaces tunnel tun101 encapsulation 'ip6gre'
-set interfaces tunnel tun101 source-address '2001:db8:babe:face::3afe:3'
-set interfaces tunnel tun101 remote '2001:db8:9bb:3ce::5'
-```
-
-**Linux** `systemd-networkd`:
-
-The `systemd-networkd` setup requires two configuration files: `xxx.netdev`
-to create the {abbr}`GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)` tunnel interface, and
-`xxx.network` to assign IP addresses to it.
-
-```none
-# cat /etc/systemd/network/gre-example.netdev
-[NetDev]
-Name=gre-example
-Kind=ip6gre
-MTUBytes=14180
-
-[Tunnel]
-Remote=2001:db8:babe:face::3afe:3
-
-
-# cat /etc/systemd/network/gre-example.network
-[Match]
-Name=gre-example
-
-[Network]
-Address=2001:db8:feed:beef::2/126
-
-[Address]
-Address=192.168.5.2/30
-```
-
-
-### GRE keys
-
-A GRE key is an optional 32-bit field in the GRE header that allows multiple
-GRE tunnels to operate between the same source and destination endpoints. When
-a packet arrives, the receiver checks the GRE key to determine which tunnel
-interface should process it.
-
-Although it may sound security-related, the GRE key is only an identifier and
-provides no encryption or data protection.
-
-Example:
-
-```none
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 source-address 192.0.2.10
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 remote 192.0.2.20
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 address 10.40.50.60/24
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 parameters ip key 10
-```
-
-```none
-set interfaces tunnel tun1 source-address 192.0.2.10
-set interfaces tunnel tun1 remote 192.0.2.20
-set interfaces tunnel tun1 address 172.16.17.18/24
-set interfaces tunnel tun1 parameters ip key 20
-```
-
-
-### GRETAP
-
-Unlike GRE, which encapsulates only Layer 3 (IP) traffic, GRETAP encapsulates
-Layer 2 (Ethernet) frames.
-
-That means that GRETAP tunnel interfaces can be members of a bridge interface.
-This allows two geographically distant sites to connect as if they were on the
-same LAN.
-
-GRETAP tunnels can be established over both IPv4 and IPv6 transport networks.
-
-Example:
-
-```none
-set interfaces bridge br0 member interface eth0
-set interfaces bridge br0 member interface tun0
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 encapsulation gretap
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 source-address 198.51.100.2
-set interfaces tunnel tun0 remote 203.0.113.10
-```
-
-
-### Troubleshooting
-
-GRE is a standardized tunneling protocol used in many network environments.
-
-Although the GRE tunnel setup is straightforward, connectivity failures
-frequently occur because ACLs or firewall rules block IP protocol 47 or
-prevent direct communication between the tunnel endpoints.
-
-If your GRE tunnel fails to establish, perform these diagnostic steps:
-
-1\. Verify that the remote peer is reachable from the configured
-`source-address`.
-
-This ensures that the underlying physical path between the two endpoints is
-functional.
-
-```none
-vyos@vyos:~$ ping 203.0.113.10 interface 198.51.100.2 count 4
-PING 203.0.113.10 (203.0.113.10) from 198.51.100.2 : 56(84) bytes of data.

-```
-
-2\. Verify that the tunnel interface is correctly configured (with the link type
-set to GRE) and is actively processing traffic.
-
-```none
-vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces tunnel tun100

-# Virtual Ethernet
-
-Virtual Ethernet (veth) interfaces are software-based interfaces that operate
-in pairs, creating a tunnel between each other. Traffic transmitted into one
-interface of the pair (e.g., `veth0`) is delivered directly to its peer
-interface (e.g., `veth1`).
-
-Veth interfaces are commonly used to connect network namespaces or VRFs, but
-they can also function as standalone virtual network interfaces.
-
-:::{note}
-Veth interfaces must be created in pairs, where each interface acts
-as the peer of the other.

-# VXLAN
-
-{abbr}`VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN)` is a network virtualization technology
-that addresses scalability challenges in large cloud computing environments.
-It encapsulates Ethernet frames (Layer 2) within UDP datagrams (Layer 4), which
-are then transmitted via UDP port 4789, as assigned by IANA. VXLAN endpoints,
-called {abbr}`VTEPs (VXLAN tunnel endpoints)`, terminate VXLAN tunnels and can
-be either virtual or physical switch ports.
-
-VXLAN supports up to 16 million logical networks and enables Layer 2 adjacency
-across Layer 3 IP networks. It uses multicast or unicast with head-end
-replication (HER) to flood broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM)
-traffic.
-
-The VXLAN specification was initially developed by VMware, Arista Networks, and
-Cisco. Other supporters include Huawei, Broadcom, Citrix, Pica8, Big Switch
-Networks, Cumulus Networks, Dell EMC, Ericsson, Mellanox, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Red
-Hat, Joyent, and Juniper Networks.
-
-VXLAN is officially documented by the IETF in {rfc}`7348`.
-
-When configuring VXLAN in a VyOS virtual machine, ensure that MAC spoofing
-(Hyper-V) or Forged Transmits (ESX) are permitted. Otherwise, the hypervisor
-may block forwarded frames.
-
-:::{note}
-Although the IANA-assigned VXLAN port is **4789**, VyOS uses the
-Linux default UDP port **8472** for VXLAN interfaces. To ensure compatibility
-with other vendors, set the port to the IANA standard **4789**.

-
-**Configure the IPv4 or IPv6 multicast group address for the VXLAN interface.**
-
-VXLAN tunnels can be built using either multicast group or unicast IP addresses.
-```
-
-
-## Multicast VXLAN
-
-Topology: PC4 - Leaf2 - Spine1 - Leaf3 - PC5
-
-PC4 uses the IP address `10.0.0.4/24`, and PC5 uses the IP address
-`10.0.0.5/24`. Both devices assume they reside within the same broadcast
-domain.
-
-Assume PC4 on Leaf2 pings PC5 on Leaf3. Rather than manually specifying Leaf3
-as the remote endpoint, Leaf2 encapsulates the packet into a UDP datagram and
-sends it to the designated multicast address via Spine1. Spine1 forwards the
-packet to all leaves in the same multicast group, including Leaf3. Upon
-receiving the datagram, Leaf3 forwards it to PC5 and learns that PC4 is
-reachable through Leaf2 by inspecting the source IP in the encapsulated
-datagram.
-
-PC5 receives the ping and responds with an echo reply. Leaf3, now aware of
-PC4's location, forwards the reply directly to Leaf2's unicast address. Upon
-receiving the echo reply, Leaf2 learns that PC5 is reachable through Leaf3.
-
-After this discovery, subsequent traffic between PC4 and PC5 will not use the
-multicast address between the leaves, as both leaves have learned the PCs'
-locations. This reduces multicast traffic and network load, improving
-scalability as more leaves are added.
-
-## Single VXLAN device (SVD)
-
-In VyOS, you can configure multiple **VLAN-to-VNI mappings** for EVPN-VXLAN on
-a single container interface, known as a single VXLAN device (SVD). This
-enables significant VNI scaling because a separate VXLAN interface is not
-required for each VNI.
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces vxlan \<interface\> vlan-to-vni \<vlan\> vni \<vni\>
-
-**Map a VLAN ID to a VNI on the specified VXLAN interface.**
-
-The VXLAN interface can be added to a bridge.
-
-The following example shows an SVD configuration with multiple VLAN-to-VNI
-mappings.
-
-:::{code-block} none
-set interfaces bridge br0 member interface vxlan0
-set interfaces vxlan vxlan0 parameters external
-set interfaces vxlan vxlan0 source-interface 'dum0'
-set interfaces vxlan vxlan0 vlan-to-vni 10 vni '10010'
-set interfaces vxlan vxlan0 vlan-to-vni 11 vni '10011'
-set interfaces vxlan vxlan0 vlan-to-vni 30 vni '10030'
-set interfaces vxlan vxlan0 vlan-to-vni 31 vni '10031'
-:::
-```
-
-
-### Example
-
-The following example demonstrates a multicast VXLAN deployment.
-
-The setup includes three routers: Spine1, a Cisco IOS router, and Leaf2 and
-Leaf3, which are VyOS routers.
-
-**Topology:** Leaf2 - Spine1 - Leaf3.
-
-The topology is built using GNS3.
-
-```none
-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:**
-
-```none
-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 scalable traffic forwarding between leaves.
-{abbr}`PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast)` must be enabled towards the leaves
-so the spine can learn from which multicast groups each leaf expects traffic.
-
-**Leaf2 configuration:**
-
-```none
-set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '10.1.2.2/24'

-
-The configurations for Leaf2 and Leaf3 are nearly identical. Detailed
-explanations for each command are provided below.
-
-```none
-set interfaces bridge br241 address '172.16.241.1/24'
-```
-
-This command creates a bridge to bind traffic on `eth1` VLAN 241 with the
-`vxlan241` interface. The IP address is optional. If configured, it can serve
-as the default gateway for each leaf, allowing devices on the VLAN to reach
-other subnets. Subnets must be redistributed by {abbr}`OSPF (Open Shortest Path
-First)` so the spine can learn how to reach them. To advertise `172.16/12`
-networks, change the {abbr}`OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)` network from
-`10.0.0.0/8` to `0.0.0.0/0`.
-
-```none
-set interfaces bridge br241 member interface 'eth1.241'
-set interfaces bridge br241 member interface 'vxlan241'
-```
-
-These commands bind `eth1.241` and `vxlan241` as member interfaces of the
-same bridge.
-
-```none
-set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 group '239.0.0.241'
-```
-
-This command configures the multicast group used by all leaves for this VLAN
-extension. It must be the same on all leaves that have this interface.
-
-```none
-set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 source-interface 'eth0'
-```
-
-This command configures the interface that listens for multicast packets. It
-can also be a loopback interface.
-
-```none
-set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 vni '241'
-```
-
-This command configures the unique ID for the VXLAN interface.
-
-```none
-set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 port 12345
-```
-
-VyOS uses the Linux default UDP port **8472** for VXLAN interfaces. This
-command allows you to configure a different UDP port.
-
-## Unicast VXLAN
-
-As an alternative to multicast, you can configure the VXLAN tunnel by
-specifying the remote IPv4 address directly. The following updates the previous
-multicast example:
-
-```none
-# leaf2 and leaf3
-delete interfaces vxlan vxlan241 group '239.0.0.241'
-delete interfaces vxlan vxlan241 source-interface 'eth0'
-
-# leaf2
-set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 remote 10.1.3.3
-
-# leaf3
-set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 remote 10.1.2.2
-```
-
-The default UDP port is 8472. To configure a different port, use `set
-interfaces vxlan <vxlanN> port <port>`.

-# WireGuard
-
-WireGuard is an extremely simple, fast, and modern VPN that utilizes
-state-of-the-art cryptography. See <https://www.wireguard.com> for more
-information.
-
-## Site-to-site VPN
-
-The following diagram illustrates a site-to-site VPN setup.
-
-:::{figure} /_static/images/wireguard_site2site_diagram.webp
-:::
-
-## Keypairs
-
-WireGuard requires a keypair, which includes a **private** key
-to decrypt incoming traffic, and a **public** key for peer(s) to encrypt
-outgoing traffic.
-
-### Generate keypair
-
-```{opcmd} generate pki wireguard key-pair
-
-Generate a keypair: a public and a private key.
-
-:::{note}
-This command only outputs the keys to your console. It neither stores
-them in the system nor applies them to the system configuration.
-:::
-
-:::{code-block} none
-vyos@vyos:~$ generate pki wireguard key-pair
-Private key: iJJyEARGK52Ls1GYRCcFvPuTj7WyWYDo//BknoDU0XY=
-Public key: EKY0dxRrSD98QHjfHOK13mZ5PJ7hnddRZt5woB3szyw=
-:::
-```
-
-
-```{opcmd} generate pki wireguard key-pair install interface \<interface\>
-
-Generate a keypair and output the private key assignment command for the
-specified interface.
-
-:::{code-block} none
-vyos@vyos:~$ generate pki wireguard key-pair install interface wg10
-"generate" CLI command executed from operational level.
-Generated private key is not automatically added to the VyOS configuration, use the following configuration mode commands to install key:
-
-set interfaces wireguard wg10 private-key '4Krkv8h6NkAYMMaBWI957yYDJDMvj9URTHstdlOcDU0='
-
-Corresponding public-key to use on peer system is: 'UxDsYT6EnpTIOKUzvMlw2p0sNOKQvFxEdSVrnNrX1Ro='
-:::
-
-:::{note}
-If you invoke this command from configuration mode with the ``run``
-prefix, the generated private key is automatically assigned to the specified
-interface.
-:::
-
-:::{code-block} none

-```
-
-#### Optional
-
-```{opcmd} generate pki wireguard preshared-key
-
-Generate a pre-shared key.
-
-The pre-shared key is optional. It adds an additional layer of symmetric-key
-cryptography on top of the asymmetric cryptography.
-
-:::{code-block} none
-vyos@vyos:~$ generate pki wireguard preshared-key

-:::
-
-:::{note}
-If you invoke this command from configuration mode with the run
-prefix, the generated key is automatically assigned to the specified peer.
-:::
-```
-
-## Interface configuration
-
-The next step is to configure your local WireGuard interface and define the
-networks you want to tunnel (`allowed-ips`).
-
-If your system only initiates connections, specifying the listen port is
-optional. If your system accepts incoming connections, you must define a port
-for peers to connect to. Otherwise, WireGuard selects a random port at each
-reboot, and that may break your peers' ability to connect if that port is not enabled in your firewall rules.
-
-To configure a WireGuard tunnel, you also need your peer's public key.
-
-:::{note}
-The public key specified in the peer configuration block is always
-the **remote** peer's public key, never your local one.
-:::
-
-**Local side configuration**
-
-The local side is configured with the following parameters:
-- Local WireGuard interface IP: `10.1.0.1/30`
-- Local listen port: `51820`
-- Remote peer name: `to-wg02`
-- Remote peer endpoint: `192.0.2.1` on port `51820`
-- Remote peer public key: `XMrlPykaxhdAAiSjhtPlvi30NVkvLQliQuKP7AI7CyI=`
-- Allowed networks: `192.168.2.0/24`
-
-```none
-set interfaces wireguard wg01 address '10.1.0.1/30'
-set interfaces wireguard wg01 description 'VPN-to-wg02'
-set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 allowed-ips '192.168.2.0/24'
-set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 address '192.0.2.1'
-set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 port '51820'
-set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 public-key 'XMrlPykaxhdAAiSjhtPlvi30NVkvLQliQuKP7AI7CyI='
-set interfaces wireguard wg01 port '51820'
-
-set protocols static route 192.168.2.0/24 interface wg01
-```
-
-To send traffic destined for `192.168.2.0/24` through the WireGuard interface
-(`wg01`), configure a static route. Multiple IP addresses or networks can be
-defined and routed. The final check is performed against `allowed-ips`, which
-either permits or drops the traffic.
-
-:::{warning}
-You cannot assign the same `allowed-ips` to multiple WireGuard
-peers. This is a strict design restriction. For more information, check the
-[WireGuard mailing list].
-:::
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces wireguard \<interface\> private-key \<private-key\>
-
-Assign a private key to the specified WireGuard interface.
-
-Example:
-
-:::{code-block} none
-set interfaces wireguard wg01 private-key 'iJJyEARGK52Ls1GYRCcFvPuTj7WyWYDo//BknoDU0XY='
-:::
-
-To generate a private key, use the following command:
-{opcmd}`generate pki wireguard key-pair`.
-
-To view the public key assigned to the interface so you can share it with a
-peer, use the following command:
-{opcmd}`show interfaces wireguard wg01 public-key`.
-```

-
-set protocols static route 192.168.1.0/24 interface wg01
-```
-
-## Firewall exceptions
-
-
-To allow WireGuard traffic through the WAN interface, create a firewall
-exception:
-
-```none
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 10 action accept
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 10 description 'Allow established/related'
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 10 state established enable
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 10 state related enable
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 20 action accept
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 20 description WireGuard_IN
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 20 destination port 51820
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 20 log enable
-set firewall ipv4 name OUTSIDE_LOCAL rule 20 protocol udp
-```
-
-Ensure that the OUTSIDE_LOCAL firewall group is applied to the WAN interface
-and in an input (local) direction.
-
-```none
-set firewall ipv4 input filter rule 10 action jump
-set firewall ipv4 input filter rule 10 jump-target 'OUTSIDE_LOCAL'
-set firewall ipv4 input filter rule 10 inbound-interface name 'eth0'
-```
-
-Verify that your firewall rules permit traffic. If so, your WireGuard VPN
-should be operational.
-
-```none
-wg01# ping 192.168.1.1
-PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
-64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.16 ms

-64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.02 ms
-```
-
-An additional layer of symmetric-key cryptography can be used on top of the
-asymmetric cryptography. This is optional.
-
-```none
-vyos@vyos:~$ generate pki wireguard preshared-key
-Pre-shared key: rvVDOoc2IYEnV+k5p7TNAmHBMEGTHbPU8Qqg8c/sUqc=
-```
-
-Copy the key, as it is not stored locally. Since it is a symmetric key, only
-you and your peer should know its contents. Distribute the key securely.
-
-```none
-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='
-```
-
-## Remote access (road warrior)
-
-
-With WireGuard, a road warrior VPN configuration is similar to a site-to-site
-VPN. It just omits the `address` and `port` statements.
-
-
-In the following example, the IP addresses for remote clients are defined
-within each peer configuration. This allows peers to communicate with each
-other.
-
-
-Additionally, this setup uses a `persistent-keepalive` flag set to 15 seconds
-to keep the connection alive. This setting is mainly relevant if a peer is
-behind NAT and cannot be reached if the connection is lost. For effectiveness,
-the value should be lower than the UDP timeout.
-
-```none
-wireguard wg01 {
- address 10.172.24.1/24
- address 2001:db8:470:22::1/64
- description RoadWarrior
- peer MacBook {
- allowed-ips 10.172.24.30/32
- allowed-ips 2001:db8:470:22::30/128
- persistent-keepalive 15
- pubkey F5MbW7ye7DsoxdOaixjdrudshjjxN5UdNV+pGFHqehc=
- }
- peer iPhone {
- allowed-ips 10.172.24.20/32
- allowed-ips 2001:db8:470:22::20/128
- persistent-keepalive 15
- pubkey BknHcLFo8nOo8Dwq2CjaC/TedchKQ0ebxC7GYn7Al00=
- }
- port 2224
- private-key OLTQY3HuK5qWDgVs6fJR093SwPgOmCKkDI1+vJLGoFU=
-}
-```
-
-Below is the configuration for the iPhone peer. The `AllowedIPs` wildcard
-setting directs all IPv4 and IPv6 traffic through the VPN connection.
-
-```none
-[Interface]
-PrivateKey = ARAKLSDJsadlkfjasdfiowqeruriowqeuasdf=
-Address = 10.172.24.20/24, 2001:db8:470:22::20/64

-AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
-Endpoint = 192.0.2.1:2224
-PersistentKeepalive = 15
-```
-
-To enable split tunneling, specify the remote subnets. This ensures that only
-traffic destined for the remote site is sent through the tunnel, while all
-other traffic remains unaffected.
-
-```none
-[Interface]
-PrivateKey = 8Iasdfweirousd1EVGUk5XsT+wYFZ9mhPnQhmjzaJE6Go=

-# Wireless LAN / Wi-Fi
-
-{abbr}`WLAN (Wireless LAN)` interfaces provide 802.11 (a/b/g/n/ac) wireless
-connectivity, referred to as Wi-Fi, and operate in one of the following
-modes:
-
-- {abbr}`WAP (Wireless Access-Point)` mode provides network access to connecting
- stations if the physical hardware supports acting as a WAP
-- Station mode acts as a Wi-Fi client accessing the network through an available
- WAP
-- Monitor mode lets the system passively monitor wireless traffic
-
-If the system detects an unconfigured wireless device, it will be automatically
-added to the configuration tree, specifying any detected settings (for example,
-its MAC address) and configured to run in monitor mode.
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Common interface configuration
-
-```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-common-with-dhcp.txt
-:var0: wireless
-:var1: wlan0
-```
-
-
-### System-wide configuration
-
-```{cfgcmd} set system wireless country-code \<cc\>
-
-Country code (ISO/IEC 3166-1). Used to set regulatory domain. Set as needed
-to indicate country in which device is operating. This can limit available
-channels and transmit power.
-
-:::{note}
-This option is mandatory in ``access-point`` mode.
-:::
-```
-
-
-### Wireless options
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces wireless \<interface\> channel \<number\>
-
-Configure the IEEE 802.11 wireless radio channel for the interface.
-Channel allocation depends on the frequency band:
-* **2.4 GHz** (802.11b/g/n/ax): Channels range from 1 to 14.
-* **5 GHz** (802.11a/h/j/n/ac/ax): Channels range from 34 to 177.
-* **6 GHz** (802.11ax): Channels range from 1 to 233.
-* **Automatic channel selection:** 0.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces wireless \<interface\> disable-broadcast-ssid
-
-Send empty SSID in beacons and ignore probe request frames that do not specify
-full SSID, i.e., require stations to know the SSID.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces wireless \<interface\> expunge-failing-stations
-
-Disassociate stations based on excessive transmission failures or other
-indications of connection loss.
-
-This depends on the driver capabilities and may not be available with all
-drivers.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces wireless \<interface\> isolate-stations
-
-Client isolation can be used to prevent low-level bridging of frames between
-associated stations in the BSS.
-
-By default, this bridging is allowed.
-```
-
-```{cfgcmd} set interfaces wireless \<interface\> max-stations \<count\>
-
-Maximum number of stations allowed in station table. New stations will be
-rejected after the station table is full. IEEE 802.11 has a limit of 2007
-different association IDs, so this number should not be larger than that.
-
-This defaults to 2007.
-```

-### Security
-
-{abbr}`WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)`, WPA2 Enterprise and WPA3 Enterprise in
-combination with 802.1X based authentication can be used to authenticate
-users or computers in a domain.
-
-The wireless client (supplicant) authenticates against the RADIUS server
-(authentication server) using an {abbr}`EAP (Extensible Authentication
-Protocol)` method configured on the RADIUS server. The WAP (also referred
-to as authenticator) role is to send all authentication messages between the
-supplicant and the configured authentication server, thus the RADIUS server
-is responsible for authenticating the users.
-
-The WAP in this example has the following characteristics:
-- IP address `192.168.2.1/24`
-- Network ID (SSID) `Enterprise-TEST`
-- WPA passphrase `12345678`
-- Use 802.11n protocol
-- Wireless channel `1`
-- RADIUS server at `192.168.3.10` with shared-secret `VyOSPassword`

-## Examples
-
-The following example creates a WAP. When configuring multiple WAP interfaces,
-you must specify unique IP addresses, channels, Network IDs commonly referred
-to as {abbr}`SSID (Service Set Identifier)`, and MAC addresses.
-
-The WAP in this example has the following characteristics:
-- IP address `192.168.2.1/24`
-- Network ID (SSID) `TEST`
-- WPA passphrase `12345678`
-- Use 802.11n protocol
-- Wireless channel `1`
-
-```none

-set interfaces wireless wlan0 type access-point
-set interfaces wireless wlan0 channel 1
-set interfaces wireless wlan0 mode n
-set interfaces wireless wlan0 ssid 'TEST'
-set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa mode wpa2
-set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa cipher CCMP
-set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa passphrase '12345678'
-```
-
-Resulting configuration:
-

-## Example
-
-The following example shows how to configure a cellular connection using a
-Sierra Wireless MC7710 miniPCIe card that operates over USB despite its form
-factor. The card is installed in a {ref}`pc-engines-apu4`.
-
-```none
-set interfaces wwan wwan0 apn 'internet.telekom'
-set interfaces wwan wwan0 address 'dhcp'
-```
-
-
-## Supported hardware
-
-The following WWAN modules have been successfully tested with a
-{ref}`pc-engines-apu4` board:
-- Sierra Wireless AirPrime MC7304 miniPCIe card (LTE)
-- Sierra Wireless AirPrime MC7430 miniPCIe card (LTE)
-- Sierra Wireless AirPrime MC7455 miniPCIe card (LTE)
-- Sierra Wireless AirPrime MC7710 miniPCIe card (LTE)
-- Huawei ME909u-521 miniPCIe card (LTE)
-- Huawei ME909s-120 miniPCIe card (LTE)
-- HP LT4120 Snapdragon X5 LTE
-
-## Firmware update
-
-WWAN modules include reprogrammable firmware, and most vendors regularly
-provide updates for it.
-
-Since VyOS communicates with these devices via the QMI interface, you can
-update firmware directly within the system using the `qmi-firmware-update`
-utility.
-
-The following example shows how to update the firmware for a Sierra Wireless
-MC7710 module using the provided .cwe file.
-
-```bash
-$ sudo qmi-firmware-update --update -d 1199:68a2 \
- 9999999_9999999_9200_03.05.14.00_00_generic_000.000_001_SPKG_MC.cwe
