FD 100/320Gbps NT and FX NT IHub Services Guide Virtual Private Routed Network Service
Issue: 13 3HH-11985-AAAA-TQZZA 469
 
7.10.3.2 address
Description This command creates a logical IP routing interface for an Virtual Private Routed Network 
(VPRN). 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 VPRN service IDs. The interface command can be executed in the 
context of an VPRN service ID. The IP interface created is associated with the service core 
network routing instance and default routing table. The typical use for IP interfaces created in 
this manner is for subscriber internet access.
Interface names are case sensitive and must be unique within the group of defined IP 
interfaces defined for configure router interface and configure service vprn 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.
The available IP address space for local subnets and routes is controlled with the configure 
router service-prefix command. The service-prefix command administers the allowed 
subnets that can be defined on VPRN IP interfaces. It also controls the prefixes that may be 
learned or statically defined with the VPRN IP interface as the egress interface. This allows 
segmenting the IP address space into configure router and configure service domains.
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 interfac  context for editing and 
configuration. By default, there are no default IP interface names defined within the system. All 
VPRN 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 VPRN services, the IP interface must be shutdown before the SAP on that interface may 
be removed. VPRN services do not have the shutdown command in the SAP CLI context. 
VPRN service SAPs rely on the interface status to enable and disable them.
Parameters ip-int-name — Specifies the name of the IP interface. Interface names must be unique within 
the group of defined IP interfaces for configure router interface and configure service vprn 
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 or is an IP interface defined 
within the configure router commands, 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.
tunnel — Keyword that specifies that the interface is of the type gre tunnel.
