Unnumbered Interface Configuration Mode Commands

Mode

The Unnumbered Interface Configuration Mode creates an unnumbered IP interface within a specified context. An unnumbered interface enables IP processing without assigning an explicit IP address to the interface. In StarOS this type of interface supports an untagged BFD port. The only parameter for this type of interface is a text description.

Exec > Global Configuration > Context Configuration > Ethernet Interface Configuration

configure > context context_name > interface interface_name unnumbered

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[context_name]host_name(config-if-unnumbered)#
