Contains the descriptive text for this interface. text must be an alphanumeric string of 0 through 79 characters. If spaces are required, the string must be bracketed with double quotation marks (“). The interface description is case sensitive.
ip_address/ip_mask: Specifies a combined IP address subnet mask bits to indicate what IP addresses to which the route applies.
ip_address/ip_mask must be specified using IPv4 dotted-decimal and CIDR notation.
ip_maskis an integer which is the number of bits in the subnet mask.
ip_address ip_mask: Specifies an IP address and the networking (subnet) mask pair which is used to identify the set of IP addresses to which the route applies.
ip_address must be specified using the IPv4 dotted-decimal notation.
ip_mask must be specified using the IPv4 dotted-decimal notation as network mask for subnets.
The mask as specified by ip_mask or resulting from
ip_address/ip_mask is used to determine the network for packet routing.
The following command will assign the 10.2.3.4 as IPv4 address to this tunnel interface:
ipv6_address/ipv6_mask: Specifies a combined IP address subnet mask bits to indicate what IP addresses to which the route applies.
ipv6_address/ipv6_mask must be specified usingIPv6 colon-separated and CIDR notation.
ipv6_mask is a numeric value which is the number of bits in the subnet mask.
The following command will assign the 1001::2:010:1234 as IPv6 address to this tunnel interface:
