Virtual ethernet interface

  • Statistics - Network interface statistics.
  • Connectivity testing - Check interface connectivity to ensure its status is a true reflection of its operational capacity.

Properties

Source NAT

Replace the source address of packets leaving this interface.

  • Data type: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Configuration

CLI: (cli)> config compute container <key> network interface snat

State

OptionLabelDescription
upUpThe interface is up and usable. An UP status does not ensure the interface is fully operational. Connectivity tests need to be performed on an interface that is UP.
downDownThe interface is down and is not usable.
unavailableUnavailableThe interface status is currently unavailable.
  • Data type: string select
  • Status

CLI: (cli)> show compute container <key> network interface state

MTU

Maximum Transmission Unit.

  • Data type: integer
  • Units: bytes
  • Status

CLI: (cli)> show compute container <key> network interface mtu

Weight

The weight for this interface when part of a multipath route reflecting its relative bandwidth or quality.

The weight should reflect the relative bandwidth or quality of this interface. The larger the weight, the better bandwidth or quality an interface provides. For example if interface A has twice the bandwidth of interface B, respectively using the weights 2 and 1 would reflect this.

  • Data type: integer
  • Default: 100
  • Minimum: 0
  • Maximum: 10000
  • Configuration
  • Required

CLI: (cli)> config compute container <key> network interface weight

MAC address

Media Access Control address.

The MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to this interface for use as a network address in communications with a network segment.

  • Data type: string
  • Status

CLI: (cli)> show compute container <key> network interface mac
