The network ports are either physical ports or virtualized ports. VLANs and interface groups constitute the virtual ports. Interface groups treat several physical ports as a single port, while VLANs subdivide a physical port into multiple separate logical ports.
The underlying physical port or interface group ports for a VLAN port can continue to host LIFs, which transmit and receive untagged traffic.
The port naming convention is enumberlettere<number>letter:
e
represents Ethernet.
a
indicates the first port, b
indicates the second port, and so on.
For example, eob indicates that an Ethernet port is the second port on the node's motherboard.
VLANs must be named by using the syntax port_name-vlan-id. port_name
specifies the physical port or interface group and vlan-id
specifies the VLAN identification on the network. For example, e1c-80 is a valid VLAN name.
