For each network media type, the software driver for that media sets reasonable default values for general interface properties, such as the interface's MTU size, receive and transmit leaky bucket properties, link operational mode, and clock source. To modify any of the default general interface properties, include one or more statements in the
interfaces {
interface-name {
clocking clock-source;
dce;
disable;
description text;
encapsulation type;
hold-time up milliseconds down milliseconds;
link-mode mode;
mac mac-address;
mtu bytes;
no-keepalives;
no-traps;
receive-bucket {
overflow (tag | discard);
rate percentage;
threshold number;
}
speed (10m | 100m);
transmit-bucket {
overflow (tag | discard);
rate percentage;
threshold number;
}
}
}
This chapter discusses the following physical interface properties that you can configure:
