MDC commands
MDC commands for the default MDC
This section describes the MDC commands that you can use after logging in to the default MDC (the
physical device).
MDC view is the view of a non-default MDC. You can enter MDC view by using the mdc command. You
can also enter the view of the default MDC by using the mdc Admin command, but you can execute only
display commands in the view of the default MDC.
Unless otherwise stated, the term "MDC" in this section refers to a non-default MDC.
allocate interface
Use allocate interface to assign a physical interface to an MDC.
Use undo allocate interface to reclaim a physical interface assigned to an MDC.
Syntax
allocate interface interface-type interface-number1 to interface-type interface-number2
undo allocate interface interface-type interface-number1 to interface-type interface-number2
Default
All physical interfaces on the device belong to the default MDC, and a non-default MDC has no physical
interfaces to use.
Views
MDC view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
mdc-admin
Parameters
interface-type interface-number1 to interface-type interface-number2: Specifies a range of interfaces.
The interface-number1 argument indicates the number of the first interface for the range, and the
interface-number2 argument indicates the number of the last interface for the range. All interfaces in the
range must be of the same type and on the same interface card.
Usage guidelines
You can assign multiple physical interfaces to a non-default MDC. A physical interface must meet the
following conditions to be assigned to a non-default MDC:
• The interface must belong to the default MDC. To assign a physical interface that belongs to one
non-default MDC to another non-default MDC, you must first remove the existing assignment by
using the undo allocate interface command.
