IP interface

Table with one row for each element of the type: 'IP interface'.

Columns

Name Description
Port capacity (Gbps) The current capacity of the underlying IP port (or ports if LAG), in Gbps
IGP instance The IGP (e.g., OSPF) weight applied for ECMP computations, applicable to the current IGP instance assigned to this interface
Description A user-defined text description (potentially long) that can be assigned to this element
MPLS-TE enabled? Indicates if the interface is allowed to carry MPLS-TE tunnels.
Rx: Ground-truth traffic (Gbps) For the reception traffic: the traffic computed in the element as ground-truth traffic. This traffic is compared to the current traffic in this element
PIM enabled? Indicates if the interface is enabled for multicast traffic management, including PIM protocol support
IGP weight The IGP (e.g. OSPF) weight applied for ECMP computations, in the IGP where this interface is assigned, if any
Node Associated node
Port IP port associated
Attributes User-defined attributes associated to this element
Rx: Estimation absolute error (Gbps) For the reception traffic: The absolute difference in Gbps, between the ground-truth traffic stored, and the curren traffic in this element
IP in links The incoming IP links
Name A user-defined name (typically short) that can be assigned to this element
MPLS-TE Admin weight The administrative weight assigned to the interface for MPLS-TE tunnel path calculations. Used when the tunnel is configured to dynamically optimize the tunnel path using the CSPF algorithm
Identifier A unique identifier set to the element, and never changed
IP neighbour nodes Indicates the set of nodes that have an IP link with this interface
IP out links The outgoing IP links
Rx: Estimation relative error (%) For the reception traffic: The relative error measured as the ratio between the absolute error, and the ground-truth traffic in this element
External links Indicates if this element has one or more user-defined external URLs associated to it. If so, when the user clicks this cell, and selects the URL (if more than one), a navigator is launched and the URL page is shown. External links are not editable in the GUI, but via API.
IP address and mask size Indicates the IP address
Rx traffic (Gbps) The received IP traffic through this interface, in Gbps
Tags User-defined tags associated to this element
Tx traffic (Gbps) The transmitted IP traffic through this interface, in Gbps
Tx: Ground-truth traffic (Gbps) For the tranmission traffic: the traffic computed in the element as ground-truth traffic. This traffic is compared to the current traffic in this element
Tx: Estimation relative error (%) For the transmission traffic: The relative error measured as the ratio between the absolute error, and the ground-truth traffic in this element
Tx: Estimation absolute error (Gbps) For the transmission traffic: The absolute difference in Gbps, between the ground-truth traffic stored, and the curren traffic in this element
VLAN Indicates the VLAN this interface belongs to, relevant for Ethernet configurations and IP switches
MPLS-TE Reservable BW Indicates the total amount of interface bandwidth (in Gbps) that is reservable by traversing MPLS-TE tunnels.
JSON An optional JSON content describing this element
MPLS-TE Reservable BW per tunnel Indicates the maximum amount of interface bandwidth (in Gbps) that is reservable by EACH traversing MPLS-TE tunnels.
Subinterface? Indicates if the interface is a subinterface: this means that the associated port has more than one interface defined
