+
+Show Interface
+==============
+Shows software interface information including counters and features
+
+Summary/Usage

+ show interface [address|addr|features|feat] [<interface> [<interface> [..]]]
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Example of how to show the interface counters:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vpp# show int
+ Name Idx State Counter Count

+Clear Interfaces
+================
+Clear the statistics for all interfaces (statistics associated with the
+'*show interface*' command).
+
+Summary/Usage
+-------------
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ clear interfaces
+
+Example
+-------
+Example of how to clear the statistics for all interfaces:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vpp# clear interfaces
+
+Set Interface Mac Address
+=========================
+The '*set interface mac address* ' command allows to set MAC address of
+given interface. In case of NIC interfaces the one has to support MAC
+address change. A side effect of MAC address change are changes of MAC
+addresses in FIB tables (ipv4 and ipv6).
+
+
+Summary/Usage
+-------------
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ set interface mac address <interface> <mac-address>.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Examples of how to change MAC Address of interface:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface mac address GigabitEthernet0/8/0 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:01
+ vpp# set interface mac address host-vpp0 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:02
+ vpp# set interface mac address tap-0 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:03
+ vpp# set interface mac address pg0 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:04
+
+Set Interface Mtu
+=================
+
+.. toctree::
+
+Summary/Usage
+-------------
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ set interface mtu [packet|ip4|ip6|mpls] <value> <interface>.
+
+Set Interface Promiscuous
+=========================
+
+Summary/Usage
+-------------
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ set interface promiscuous [on|off] <interface>.
+
+.. _setintstate:
+
+Set Interface State
+===================
+This command is used to change the admin state (up/down) of an
+interface.
+
+If an interface is down, the optional '*punt*' flag can also be set. The
+'*punt*' flag implies the interface is disabled for forwarding but punt
+all traffic to slow-path. Use the '*enable*' flag to clear '*punt*' flag
+(interface is still down).
+
+Summary/Usage
+-------------
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ set interface state <interface> [up|down|punt|enable].
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Example of how to configure the admin state of an interface to **up**:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface state GigabitEthernet2/0/0 up
+
+Example of how to configure the admin state of an interface to **down**:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface state GigabitEthernet2/0/0 down
