Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. Create a Reth subinterface and enter its view.

interface reth interface-number.subnumber

By default, no Reth subinterfaces exist.

If the specified Reth subinterface already exists, this command enters the view of the Reth subinterface.

3. (Optional.) Configure the expected bandwidth for the Reth subinterface.

bandwidth bandwidth-value

By default, the expected bandwidth is 10000 kbps.

4. (Optional.) Configure a description for the Reth subinterface.

description text

The default description of a Reth subinterface is interface-name Interface (for example, Reth1.1 Interface).

5. (Optional.) Set the MTU of the Reth subinterface.

mtu size

By default, the MTU of a Reth subinterface is 1500 bytes.

6. Set the MAC address for the Reth subinterface.

mac-address mac-address

By default, a Reth subinterface uses the MAC address of its Reth interface as its MAC address.

Typically, this command is not required. When Reth subinterfaces on different devices in a network have the same MAC address, the devices might fail to communicate correctly. To eliminate the MAC address conflicts, you can use this command to modify MAC addresses for the Reth subinterfaces.

7. Bring up the Reth subinterface.

undo shutdown

By default, a Reth subinterface is up.

8. (Optional.) Restore the default settings for the Reth subinterface.
