Ethernet
---------
-
-Ethernet interfaces allow for the configuration of speed, duplex, and hw-id
-(MAC address). Below is an example configuration:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '192.168.0.1/24'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '2001:db8:1::ffff/64'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 description 'INSIDE'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 duplex 'auto'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 speed 'auto'
-
-Resulting in:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- ethernet eth1 {
- address 192.168.0.1/24
- address 2001:db8:1::ffff/64
- description INSIDE
- duplex auto
- hw-id 00:53:29:44:3b:19
- smp_affinity auto
- speed auto
- }
-
-In addition, Ethernet interfaces provide the extended operational commands:
-
-* ``show interfaces ethernet <name> physical``
-* ``show interfaces ethernet <name> statistics``
-
-Statistics available are driver dependent.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth0 physical
- Settings for eth0:
- Supported ports: [ TP ]
- Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
- 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
- 1000baseT/Full
- Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
- Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
- 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
- 1000baseT/Full
- Advertised pause frame use: No
- Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
- Speed: 1000Mb/s
- Duplex: Full
- Port: Twisted Pair
- PHYAD: 0
- Transceiver: internal
- Auto-negotiation: on
- MDI-X: Unknown
- Supports Wake-on: d
- Wake-on: d
- Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)

+Configuration
+#############
+
+Address
+-------
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet '<interface>' address <address | dhcp | dhcpv6>
+
+ Configure ethernet interface `<interface>` with one or more interface
+ addresses.
+
+ * **address** can be specified multiple times as IPv4 and/or IPv6 address,
+ e.g. 192.0.2.1/24 and/or 2001:db8::1/64
+ * **dhcp** interface address is received by DHCP from a DHCP server on this
+ segment.
+ * **dhcpv6** interface address is received by DHCPv6 from a DHCPv6 server on
+ this segment.
+
+ Example:
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 192.0.2.1/24
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 192.0.2.2/24
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 2001:db8::ffff/64
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 2001:db8:100::ffff/64
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet '<interface>' ipv6 address autoconf
+
+ :abbr:`SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration)` is specified in
+ :rfc:`4862`. IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected
+ to an IPv6 network using the Neighbor Discovery Protocol via :abbr:`ICMPv6
+ (Internet Control Message Protocol version 6) router discovery messages.
+ When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local router
+ solicitation multicast request for its configuration parameters; routers
+ respond to such a request with a router advertisement packet that contains
+ Internet Layer configuration parameters.
+
+ .. note:: This method automatically disables IPv6 traffic forwarding on the
+ interface in question.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet '<interface>' ipv6 address eui64 '<prefix>'
+
+ :abbr:`EUI-64 (64-Bit Extended Unique Identifier)` as specified in
+ :rfc:`4291` allows a host to assign iteslf a unique 64-Bit IPv6 address.
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 ipv6 address eui64 2001:db8:beef::/64
+
+Speed/Duplex
+------------
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet '<interface>' duplex <auto | full | half>
+
+ Configure physical interface duplex setting.
+
+ * auto - interface duplex setting is auto-negotiated
+ * full - always use full-duplex
+ * half - always use half-duplex
+
+ VyOS default will be `auto`.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet '<interface>' speed <auto | 10 | 100 | 1000 | 2500 | 5000 | 10000 | 25000 | 40000 | 50000 | 100000>
+
+ Configure physical interface speed setting.
+
+ * auto - interface speed is auto-negotiated
+ * 10 - 10 MBit/s
+ * 100 - 100 MBit/s
+ * 1000 - 1 GBit/s
+ * 2500 - 2.5 GBit/s
+ * 5000 - 5 GBit/s
+ * 10000 - 10 GBit/s
+ * 25000 - 25 GBit/s
+ * 40000 - 40 GBit/s
+ * 50000 - 50 GBit/s
+ * 100000 - 100 GBit/s
+
+ VyOS default will be `auto`.
+
+Link Administration
+-------------------
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet '<interface>' description '<description>'
+
+ Assign given `<description>` to interface. Description will also be passed
+ to SNMP monitoring systems.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet '<interface>' disable
+
+ Disable given ethernet interface. It will be placed in administratively down
+ state.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet '<interface>' disable-flow-control
+
+ Disable Ethernet flow control (pause frames).
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet '<interface>' mac '<mac-address>'
+
+ Configure user defined :abbr:`MAC (Media Access Control)` address on given
+ `<interface>`.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet '<interface>' mtu '<mtu>'
+
+ Configure :abbr:`MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)` on given `<interface>`. It
+ is the size (in bytes) of the largest ethernet frame sent on this link.
+
+Router Advertisements
+---------------------
+
+Router advertisements are described in :rfc:`4861#section-4.6.2`. They are part
+of what is known as :abbr:`SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration)`.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet '<interface>' ipv6 router-advert send-advert <true | false>
+
+ Enable or disable router advertisements in this `<interface>`.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet '<interface>' ipv6 router-advert prefix '<prefix>'
+
+ Prefix information is described in :rfc:`4861#section-4.6.2`.
