Physical Interface Configuration Statements Overview
The software driver for each network media type sets reasonable default values for general interface properties, such as the interface’s maximum transmission unit (MTU) size, receive and transmit leaky bucket properties, link operational mode, and clock source.
M Series, MX Series, T Series, and J Series routers are factory configured according to the specific router, its features, and its physical interfaces. This section includes a default configuration example showing the statements used to configure the physical interfaces properties. Additional statements are used to set properties for specific interface types and are described in Physical Interfaces Properties Statements List.
To modify any of the default general interface properties, include the appropriate statements at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level:
