- $junos-underlying-interface when configuring dynamic IP demux interfaces.
- $junos-interface-ifd-name when configuring dynamic VLAN demux interfaces.
The variable is used to specify the underlying interface when a new demux interface is dynamically created. The variable is dynamically replaced with the underlying interface that DHCP supplies when the subscriber logs in.
