Dataplane Configuration

For the majority of cases the default dataplane configuration is sufficient, but certain cases may require adjustments. These are often covered in more detail throughout the documentation, and relevant sections will be linked where appropriate.

These commands are all available in config mode (Configuration Mode).

Warning

The dataplane service requires a restart to enable configuration changes described in this section. The CLI prints a warning to remind users to perform this action after changing settings. Restart the dataplane using the following command:

tnsr# service dataplane restart

Note

The default behavior of the dataplane with no interfaces defined in the configuration is to not start at boot. The best practice is to always explicitly define every interface required for use in the dataplane, even if only changing their names.

See Default Dataplane Behavior for details.
