Release Information

Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.

Description

Specify the type of interface.

By default, the software chooses the correct interface type based on the type of physical interface. Therefore, you should never have to set the interface type. The exception to this is for NBMA interfaces, which default to an interface type of point-to-multipoint. To have these interfaces explicitly run in NBMA mode, configure the nbma interface type, using the IP address of the local ATM interface.

Beginning with JUNOS Release 9.3, a point-to-point interface supports an Ethernet interface without a subnet. For more information about configuring interfaces, see the JUNOS Software Network Interfaces Configuration Guide.

Default

The software chooses the correct interface type based on the type of physical interface.

Options

nbma—Nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) interface.
p2mp—Point-to-multipoint interface.
p2p—Point-to-point interface.

Usage Guidelines

See Configuring an Interface on a Broadcast or Point-to-Point Network.
