interface
Syntax interface ip-int-name
no interface ip-int-name
Context config>service>ies
Description This command creates a logical IP routing interface for an Internet Enhanced Service (IES). Once 
created, attributes like an IP address and service access point (SAP) can be associated with the IP 
interface.
The interface command, under the context of services, is used to create and maintain IP routing 
interfaces within IES service IDs. The interface command can be executed in the context of an IES 
service ID. The IP interface created is associated with the service core network routing instance and 
default routing.
Interface names are case sensitive and must be unique within the group of defined IP interfaces 
defined for config service ies interface (that is, the network core router instance). Interface names 
must not be in the dotted decimal notation of an IP address. For example, the name “1.1.1.1” is not 
allowed, but “int-1.1.1.1” is allowed. Show commands for router interfaces use either interface names 
or the IP addresses.  Use unique IP address values and IP address names to maintain clarity.  It could 
be unclear to the user if the same IP address and IP address name values are used. Although not 
recommended, duplicate interface names can exist in different router instances.
When a new name is entered, a new logical router interface is created. When an existing interface 
name is entered, the user enters the router interface context for editing and configuration. 
By default, there are no default IP interface names defined within the system. All IES IP interfaces 
must be explicitly defined. Interfaces are created in an enabled state.
The no form of this command removes IP the interface and all the associated configuration. The 
interface must be administratively shutdown before issuing the no interface command. 
For IES services, the IP interface must be shutdown before the SAP on that interface may be 
removed. 
Parameters ip-int-name — Specifies the name of the IP interface. Interface names must be unique within the 
group of defined IP interfaces for config router interface and config service ies interface 
commands. An interface name cannot be in the form of an IP address. Interface names can be 
from 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters. If the string contains special characters (#, $, spaces, etc.), 
the entire string must be enclosed within double quotes.
If ip-int-name already exists within the service ID, the context will be changed to maintain that 
IP interface. If ip-int-name already exists within another service ID, an error will occur and 
context will not be changed to that IP interface. If ip-int-name does not exist, the interface is 
created and context is changed to that interface for further command processing.
