Interface Management

the interface contains various information about the interface and the status of the interface it is worth noting that when viewing interface information, multiple interfaces are displayed, so the command keyword is "interfaces" in plural form; while when configuring interfaces, they are configured one by one, so the keyword "interface" is used in singular form interface basic configuration

interface's operational parameters, and the new configuration does not take effect immediately, you can use the "shutdown" and "undo shutdown" commands to disable and re enable the interface to apply the new configuration also, when an interface is idle, it is advisable to use the "shutdown" command to deactivate that interface this helps prevent any issues that may arise due to interference on the interface when it's not in use \[use cases] sonic# configure terminal sonic(config)# interface ethernet 1 sonic(config if 1)# shutdown sonic(config if 1)# show this ! interface ethernet 1 shutdown

value range 1 300, unit s \[view] interface view \[usage scenario] in unstable network environments, there may be situations where the device cannot obtain an ip address from the expected dhcp server if the device acquires an ip address from another dhcp server, even after network recovery, it may remain unable to obtain an ip address from the desired subnet for an extended period to avoid this scenario, users can specify a delay in port activation time for the device after a reboot, depending on the network conditions \[notes] when the time parameter is configured to 0, it means no delayed
