Interface Configuration in SONiC

Interface Configuration in SONiC

To manage interface settings in SONiC, use the following commands.

Change Interface Speed

To modify the speed of an interface, use the command:
sudo config interface speed <interface> <speed_in_Mbps>

Example:
sudo config interface speed ethernet10 40000

Change Interface Status

Shutdown Interface

To disable an interface, use the command:
sudo config interface shutdown <interface>

Example:
sudo config interface shutdown ethernet10

Startup Interface

To enable an interface, use the command:
sudo config interface startup <interface>

Example:
sudo config interface startup ethernet30

Change MTU Value

To adjust the MTU value of an interface, use the command:
sudo config interface mtu <interface> <MTU_value>

Example:
sudo config interface mtu ethernet30 9100
