set interface gigabit-ethernet routed-interface enable
The set interface gigabit-ethernet routed-interface enable command enables the Ethernet port as a layer 3 routed interface. All Ethernet ports are layer 2 interfaces by default.
The delete interface gigabit-ethernet routed-interface enable command restores the Ethernet port to a layer 2 interface.
Command Syntax
set interface gigabit-ethernet <interface-name> routed-interface enable <true | false>
Parameter
Parameter | Description |
gigabit-ethernet <interface-name> | Specifies a physical port name. The value is like ge-1/1/1, te-1/1/3, etc. |
enable <true | false> | Enables or disables the Ethernet port as a layer 3 routed interface. The value could be true or false.
All Ethernet ports are layer 2 interfaces by default. |
Usage Guidelines
Pay attention to the following precautions before configuring a routed interface:
When enabling an Ethernet port/LAG interface as a layer 3 routed interface, a name for the routed interface should be configured by using the command set interface gigabit-ethernet <interface-name> routed-interface name <string>. This name will be referred to as the “interface name” in other CLI commands.
NOTE:
To avoide conflict with the preserved interface names, the routed interface name and sub-interface name must start with the string "rif-". Otherwise, commit will fail with the error message "The name of interface must start with "rif-".
Reserved VLANs need to be configured on the device before configuring the routed interface.
Routed interface is mutually exclusive with the following layer 2 features, you have to delete all of the following configurations on the interface before enabling it as a routed interface, otherwise the routed interface commands will fail to commit.
set interface gigabit-ethernet <interface-name> backup-port XX |
Besides the layer 2 features listed above, routed interface does not support Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and MAC learning. However, the Layer 2 feature of LLDP is supported on an Ethernet port enabled as routed interface.
After a routed interface is enabled, you have to configure the following node to bring the routed interface up. Only after this, the corresponding sub-interfaces can be used normally.
set l3-interface routed-interface <interface-name>
The member port of a LAG port cannot be enabled as a routed interface, correspondingly, the physical port enabled as a routed interface cannot be configured as a LAG member port.
Example
- Enable the Ethernet port te-1/1/4 as a layer 3 routed interface.
