Create an Interface

Learn how to create an interface or a range of interfaces.

About this task

Interface name must be in slot/port format. For more information, see the Extreme 9920 Software Command Reference, 21.1.0.0 .

When you create an interface, you associate it with an ingress group so that the actions you specify in various policies are performed on traffic at those tool ports.

Procedure

Run the configure terminal command to access Config mode.
The command line changes to configuration mode.
```
device(config)# 
```

Create an interface or interface range by running the command interface slot / port-number.

device(config)# interface e 1/10-14,3/3-4
device(config-if-eth-1/10-14,3/3-4)# no shutdown
device(config-if-eth-1/10-14,3/3-4)# set ingress-group noc_traffic
device(config-if-eth-1/10-14,3/3-4)# end

Run the following show command to confirm that the interface configuration was accepted.

device# show ingress-group noc_traffic

    Name : noc_traffic
       Route-Map : -
     Description : -
      Interfaces :  ethernet 1/10  ethernet 1/11
        ➥ethernet 1/12  ethernet 1/13  ethernet 1/14
        ➥ethernet 3/3  ethernet 3/4

Run the following show command to view status for the interfaces you configured.

device# show interface ethernet 1/10-14,3/3-4 | include state 
ethernet 1/10 Admin state UP      Operational state UP      
ethernet 1/11 Admin state UP      Operational state UP
