Virtual-Template and Virtual Interface 161

dynamically create a virtual interface based on the configuration parameters of the template.

Similarly, after multiple PPP links are bound as MP, a virtual interface also needs to be created to exchange data with the opposite end. At this time, select an interface template to dynamically create a virtual interface.

Configure In VPN and MP application environments, the system automatically creates and Virtual-Templatedeletes virtual interface, which is completely transparent to the user. The user only

needs to configure VPN or MP at corresponding physical interface, create and configure virtual-template and then build up relation between the virtual-template and relevant physical interface.

Virtual-template configuration includes:

■Create and delete virtual-template

■Set working parameters of the virtual-template

■Build up corresponding relation between the virtual-template and relevant physical interface.

1Create and delete virtual-template

Please use the following commands in all views.

Table 192 Create or delete virtual-template

Operation	Command
Create virtual-template and enter its view	interface virtual-template
	number
Delete the virtual-template	undo interface
	virtual-template number

Here, number stands for template number of virtual-template ranging 1 to 25, i.e. the user can create up to 25 virtual-templates.

In executing interface virtual-templatecommand, if corresponding virtual-template has been created, then directly enter the view of this virtual-template. Otherwise, first create the virtual-template with specified template number.

In deleting the virtual-template, make sure that all of its derived virtual interfaces have been removed and this virtual-template is not in use any more.

2Set work parameters of virtual-template

Compared with normal physical interface, the virtual-template has the following features: the link layer protocol only supports PPP, and the network protocol supports IP and IPX. Therefore, the following working parameters can be set:

■Set working parameters of PPP

■Set IP address of virtual interface

■Set IP address (or IP address pool) allocated to PPP opposite end

Settings of these parameters on virtual-template are the same as those on normal interface. Please see related chapters of PPP configuration in Operation Manual – Link Layer Protocol, IP address configuration in Operation Manual – Network Protocol and RADIUS configuration in Operation Manual – Security for configuration details.
