create sub-interfaces

Summary/usage

create sub-interfaces <nn>[-<nn>] [dot1q|dot1ad|default|untagged].

Description

Create vlan subinterfaces

Example usage
vpp# create sub-interfaces

To create a vlan subinterface 11 to process packets on 802.1q VLAN id 11, use:

 vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 11

This shorthand is equivalent to:
 vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 11 dot1q 11 exact-match

You can specify a subinterface number that is different from the vlan id:
 vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 11 dot1q 100

You can create qinq and q-in-any interfaces:
 vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 11 dot1q 100 inner-dot1q 200
 vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 12 dot1q 100 inner-dot1q any

You can also create dot1ad interfaces:
 vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 11 dot1ad 11
 vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 12 dot1q 100 inner-dot1q 200

Subinterfaces can be configured as either exact-match or non-exact match.
Non-exact match is the CLI default. If exact-match is specified,
packets must have the same number of vlan tags as the configuration.
For non-exact-match, packets must at least that number of tags.
L3 (routed) interfaces must be configured as exact-match.
L2 interfaces are typically configured as non-exact-match.

For example, a packet with outer vlan 100 and inner 200 would match this interface:
 vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 5 dot1q 100

but would not match this interface:
 vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 5 dot1q 100 exact-match

There are two special subinterfaces that can be configured. Subinterface untagged has no vlan tags:
 vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 5 untagged

The subinterface default matches any packet that does not match any other subinterface:
 vpp# create sub GigabitEthernet2/0/0 7 default

set interface mac address

Summary/usage

set interface mac address <intfc> <mac-address>.

Description

The 'set interface mac address ' command allows to set MAC address of given interface. In case of NIC interfaces the one has to support MAC address change. A side effect of MAC address change are changes of MAC addresses in FIB tables (ipv4 and ipv6).

Example usage
Example of how to change MAC Address of interface:
vpp# set interface mac address GigabitEthernet0/8/0 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:01
vpp# set interface mac address host-vpp0 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:02
vpp# set interface mac address tap-0 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:03
vpp# set interface mac address pg0 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:04

Implementation: mtu_cmd.

set interface promiscuous

Summary/usage

set interface promiscuous [on | off] <intfc>.
