The basic cluster netinterface syntax is:
cluster [[/cluster:]cluster name] netinterface /node: node name /network: network name /option
The cluster name is optional. If no option is specified, the default option is /status.
If the name of your cluster is also a cluster command or its abbreviation, such as cluster or c, use /cluster: to explicitly specify the cluster name. For a list of all the cluster commands, see Related Topics.
The following table describes the available cluster netinterface options:
| Option | Use to... |
|---|---|
| /status | Display the status for cluster network interface. The network name and node name are optional. If you do not provide the network name and node name, the status of all cluster network interfaces is displayed. |
| /properties [property list] | View or set the network interface common properties. The network name and node name are optional. Properties for all network interfaces are displayed if you do not provide a network name and node name. For more information on property lists, see Property lists |
| /privproperties [property list] | View or set the network interface private properties. The network name and node name are optional. If you do not provide a network name and node name, the private properties for all network interfaces are displayed. For more information on property lists, see Property lists |

The following table describes the common cluster netinterface property names, their uses, and valid settings:
| Name | Use |
|---|---|
| Adapter | Uniquely identifies the adapter in the cluster. |
| AdapterID | A Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) for the adapter in the cluster. |
| Address | The primary network address used by the network interface. |
| Description | Optional description of the network interface. |
| Name | Name of the cluster network interface object. |
| Network | The name of the network to which the network interface is connected. |
| Node | The name of the node on which the network interface is installed. |
By default, there are no private properties for cluster netinterface. Software vendors can add private properties to extend cluster functionality.
