Note:

The swap command allows you to swap management and media interfaces.

In this example, wancom0, s0p0, and s0p1 are the available physical interfaces.

Retrieve the phy-interface template.
The template of a configuration element is a data structure containing all required sub-elements and supported attributes with their default values, along with any specified optional sub-elements.
```
curl -X GET -o response.xml \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://10.0.0.2/rest/v1.1/configuration/elementTypes/template?elementType=phy-interface"
```
The response is saved to the file response.xml.
Copy the content between the opening and closing <configElement> tags to two files called phy-interface-s0p0.xml and phy-interface-s0p1.xml.
If you are on a Linux system with xmllint installed, you may optionally format the XML before writing it to the file system.
```
sed -n '/<configElement>/,/<\/configElement>/p' response.xml | xmllint --format - > phy-interface-s0p0.xml
```
```
sed -n '/<configElement>/,/<\/configElement>/p' response.xml | xmllint --format - > phy-interface-s0p1.xml
```

In the phy-interface-s0p0.xml file, set the name to s0p0 and the operation-type to Media.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configElement>
  <elementType>phy-interface</elementType>
  <attribute>
    <name>name</name>
    <value>s0p0</value>
  </attribute>
  <attribute>
    <name>operation-type</name>
    <value>Media</value>
  </attribute>
  ...
</configElement>

In the phy-interface-s0p1.xml file, set the name to s0p1, the operation-type to Media, and the port to 1.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configElement>
  <elementType>phy-interface</elementType>
  <attribute>
    <name>name</name>
    <value>s0p1</value>
  </attribute>
  <attribute>
    <name>operation-type</name>
    <value>Media</value>
  </attribute>
  <attribute>
    <name>port</name>
    <value>1</value>
  </attribute>
  <attribute>
    <name>slot</name>
    <value>0</value>
  </attribute>
  ...
</configElement>

Acquire the configuration lock.

curl -X POST \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://10.0.0.2/rest/v1.1/configuration/lock"

Add both phy-interface configurations to the SBC.

curl -X POST \
    -d@phy-interface-s0p0.xml \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://10.0.0.2/rest/v1.1/configuration/configElements"

curl -X POST \
    -d@phy-interface-s0p1.xml \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://10.0.0.2/rest/v1.1/configuration/configElements"

If done editing the configuration, save, verify, and activate the configuration.

Release the configuration lock.

curl -X POST \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://10.0.0.2/rest/v1.1/configuration/unlock"
