Arguments

Field Name	Description
adminState enumeration	Optional: The administrative (manually configured) status of the interface. The default setting is "enabled". Valid values: `enabled`, `disabled`
eventFilter enumeration	Optional: The event filter level set for the interface. The default setting is "informational". Valid values: `emergency` : The system detected a serious problem; further operation can cause damage. `alert` : The system detected a problem that requires operator attention. `critical` : The system software detected a critical problem requiring a restart. `error` : The system detected a significant problem, but continues operating. `warning` : The system detected a problem, but was able to recover. `notice` : The system detected normal activity, but event was generated for review. `informational` : The system detected a normal operational activity. `debug` : The system detected normal operational activities and unexpected events.
linkUpDownTrap enumeration	Optional: Specifies if link up/down SNMP traps should be sent on the interface. The default setting is "enabled". Valid values: `enabled` : Link up/down trap enabled. `disabled` : Link up/down trap disabled.
mtu integer	Optional: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the interface. This is the maximum length, in number of bytes, of a packet transmitted over this interface. Packets are fragmented to this size. Can only be modified on IP interfaces. Valid values are from 576 to 9000; the default setting is "1500".
packetTrace enumeration	Optional: The setting for the packet trace capability. When enabled, the system sends debug messages relating to packets moving through the system. Because of the large amount of data generated by setting this variable, you should only enable it when you want to debug your network by verifying where packets are going in the system. The default setting is "disabled". Valid values: `enabled`, `disabled`
description text	Optional: The text string you assigned to the interface. You can use this value to identify a interface name (for example, vlan.10) with a meaningful description. The default setting is "".
