Identity and State

You must specify the identity for all types of physical interfaces, and the state for media interfaces.

Set the following parameters to configure the identity and state of a physical interface:

1. name—Set a name for the interface using any combination of characters entered without spaces. For example: Internet (for a Fast Ethernet media and signaling interface) or maint0 (for a maintenance interface).
2. admin-state—Leave the administrative state parameter set to enabled to receive and send media and signaling on an interface. Select disabled to prevent media and signaling from being received and sent. The default for this parameter is enabled. The valid values are:

   • enabled | disabled
