Setup guide

arp (disabled | enabled | proxy-arp | reply-only; default: enabled) - Address Resolution Protocol
mtu (integer; default: 1500) - Maximum Transmission Unit
disable-running-check (yes | no; default: yes) - disable running check. If this value is set to 'no',
the router automatically detects whether the NIC is connected with a device in the network or not
mac-address (read-only: MAC address) - Media Access Control address of the card
auto-negotiation (yes | no; default: yes) - when enabled, the interface "advertises" its maximum
capabilities to achieve the best connection possible
full-duplex (yes | no; default: yes) - defines whether the transmission of data appears in two
directions simultaneously
long-cable (yes | no; default: no) - changes the cable length setting (only applicable to NS
DP83815/6 cards)
speed (10 Mbps | 100 Mbps | 1000 Mbps) - sets the data transmission speed of the interface
Notes
For some Ethernet NICs it is possible to blink the LEDs for 10s. Type /interface ethernet blink
ether1 and watch the NICs to see the one which has blinking LEDs.
When disable-running-check is set to no, the router automatically detects whether the NIC is
connected to a device in the network or not. When the remote device is not connected (the leds are
not blinking), the route which is set on the specific interface, becomes invalid.
Example
[admin@Wandy] > interface print
Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic, R - running
# NAME TYPE RX-RATE TX-RATE MTU
0 X ether1 ether 0 0 1500
[admin@Wandy] > interface enable ether1
[admin@Wandy] > interface print
Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic, R - running
# NAME TYPE RX-RATE TX-RATE MTU
0 R ether1 ether 0 0 1500
[admin@Wandy] > interface ethernet
[admin@Wandy] interface ethernet> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
# NAME MTU MAC-ADDRESS ARP
0 R ether1 1500 00:0C:42:03:00:F2 enabled
[admin@Wandy] interface ethernet> print detail
Flags: X - disabled, R - running

Monitoring the Interface Status
Command name: /interface ethernet monitor
Property Description
status (link-ok | no-link | unknown) - status of the interface, one of the:
• link-ok - the card has connected to the network
• no-link - the card has not connected to the network
