Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

uuid

string

path

True

IP interface UUID

fields

array[string]

query

False

Specify the fields to return.

Response

Status: 200, Ok
Name Type Description

_links

_links

ddns_enabled

boolean

Indicates whether or not dynamic DNS updates are enabled. Defaults to true if the interface supports "data_nfs" or "data_cifs" services, otherwise false.

dns_zone

string

Fully qualified DNS zone name

enabled

boolean

The administrative state of the interface.

fail_if_subnet_conflicts

boolean

This command fails if the specified IP address falls within the address range of a named subnet. Set this value to false to use the specified IP address and to assign the subnet owning that address to the interface.

ip

ip_info

IP information

ipspace

ipspace

Either the UUID or name must be supplied on POST for cluster-scoped objects.

location

location

Current or home location can be modified. Specifying a port implies a node. Specifying a node allows an appropriate port to be automatically selected. Ports are not valid and not shown for VIP interfaces. For POST, broadcast_domain can be specified alone or with home_node. For PATCH, set is_home to true to revert a LIF back to its home port.

metric

metric

The most recent sample of I/O metrics for the interface.

name

string

Interface name

probe_port

integer

Probe port for Cloud load balancer

rdma_protocols

array[string]

Supported RDMA offload protocols

scope

string

Set to "svm" for interfaces owned by an SVM. Otherwise, set to "cluster".

service_policy

service_policy

services

array[string]

The services associated with the interface.

state

string

The operational state of the interface.

statistics

statistics

The real time I/O statistics for the interface.

subnet

ip_subnet_reference

A named subnet. Either UUID or name can be supplied on input.

svm

svm

Applies only to SVM-scoped objects. Either the UUID or name must be supplied on POST.

uuid

string

The UUID that uniquely identifies the interface.

vip

boolean

True for a VIP interface, whose location is announced via BGP.

duration

string

The duration over which this sample is calculated. The time durations are represented in the ISO-8601 standard format. Samples can be calculated over the following durations:

status

string

Errors associated with the sample. For example, if the aggregation of data over multiple nodes fails, then any partial errors might return "ok" on success or "error" on an internal uncategorized failure. Whenever a sample collection is missed but done at a later time, it is back filled to the previous 15 second timestamp and tagged with "backfilled_data". "inconsistent_delta_time" is encountered when the time between two collections is not the same for all nodes. Therefore, the aggregated value might be over or under inflated. "Negative_delta" is returned when an expected monotonically increasing value has decreased in value. "inconsistent_old_data" is returned when one or more nodes do not have the latest data.

throughput

throughput

The rate of throughput bytes per second observed at the interface.

timestamp

string
