Ethernet Device Commands
Some interface settings provide direct management of the Ethernet settings themselves. These are
particularly useful if D-Link hardware has been replaced and Ethernet card settings are to be
changed, or if configuring the interfaces when running NetDefendOS on non-D-Link hardware.
For example, to display all Ethernet interface information use the command:
gw-world:/> show EthernetDevice
This command lists all Ethernet interfaces. Those defined as logical interfaces in the current
configuration are marked by a plus "+" symbol on the left of the listing.
Those interfaces that physically exist but are not part of the configuration are indicated with a minus
"-" symbol at the left. These will be deleted after the configuration is activated. If a deleted interface
in the interface list is to be restored, this can be done with the undelete command:
gw-world:/> undelete EthernetDevice <interface>
Individual interface details can be displayed, for example for the interface if1, with the command:
gw-world:/> show EthernetDevice if1

The set command can be used to control an Ethernet interface. For example, to disable an interface
lan, the following command can be used:
gw-world:/> set EthernetDevice lan -disable
To enable the interface lan:
gw-world:/> set EthernetDevice lan -enable
To set the driver on an Ethernet interface card the command is:
gw-world:/> set EthernetDevice lan EthernetDriver=<driver>
PCIBus=<X> PCISlot=<Y> PCIPort=<Z>
For example, if the driver name is IXP4NPEEthernetDriver for the bus, slot, port combination 0, 0,
2 on the wan interface, the set command would be:
gw-world:/> set EthernetDevice lan
EthernetDriver=IXP4NPEEthernetDriver
PCIBus=0
PCISlot=0
PCIPort=2
This command is useful when a restored configuration contains interface names that do not match
the interface names of new hardware. By assigning the values for bus, slot, port and driver of a
