The name of a virtual interface is a string that is no longer than 15 characters that
meets the following criteria:
It must begin with a letter.
It must not contain a space.
It must not already be in use for a virtual interface.
Virtual interface names are case-sensitive.

When you write or modify shell scripts that involve interface names, remember the
interface naming conventions that the filer uses. Because the slot in which an inter-
face card is installed is a part of the interface name, different filers might have
different interface names.

The first time the setup program runs, the filer creates a host name for each installed
interface by appending the interface name to the host name.
