Usage Guidelines

An interface pair is a pair of incoming and outgoing interfaces.

After an interface pair is formed, the traffic enters the incoming interface of the interface pair is forwarded out of the outgoing interface in the interface pair, without routing table or MAC address table lookup.

If the incoming and outgoing interfaces are the same interface, the packets entering the interface are forwarded out of the same interface after being processed.

Example

# Create an interface pair named abc.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] pair-interface name abc
