Parameters:
Name Type Description Mandatory Default
ipinterfac
e
Object name Name of the IP
interface to be
created. Do not
use the names
Management or VPN.
Y N/A
address N/A IP address of the
interface.
Y N/A
netmask N/A Network mask of
the interface.
Y N/A
gateway N/A IP address of the
default gateway
for this interface.
This is optional.
N None
mtu Integer Maximum
Transmission Unit:
The supported
packet size by the
connecting
Ethernet switch.
This is optional
when the default
equals 1536. MTU
of up to 4500 is
supported.
N 4500 for iSCSI and
1536 for
Management and
VPN.
module N/A Component
identifier (rack and
module) of the
module containing
the Ethernet ports.
Y N/A
ports Integer Comma-separated
list (one or more)
of port numbers.
Y N/A
speed Enumeration Interface's speed,
either automatic or
an explicit speed.
An explicit speed
will turn off
auto-negotiation.
N auto
This command defines a new IP interface for iSCSI traffic. Gateway, MTU, network
mask and IP are the standard IP definitions.
The IP interface is defined on a Port Group, where a Port Group is one or more
ports (all on the same module) that is linked together as an 802.3ad link
aggregation group.
Each iSCSI Ethernet port can be defined as an IP interface, or groups of Ethernet
iSCSI ports on the same module can be defined as a single link aggregation group.
