Configuring Network Devices

Network Voyager displays network devices as physical interfaces. A physical interface exists for each physical port on a network interface card (NIC) installed in the appliance. Physical interface names have the form:

<type>-s<slot>p<port>

where:

<type> is a prefix indicating the device type.

<slot> is the number of the slot the device occupies in the appliance.

<port> is the port number of the NIC. The first port on a NIC is port one. For example, a two-port Ethernet NIC in slot 2 is represented by two physical interfaces: eth-s2p1 and eth-s2p2.

The following table lists the interface-name prefixes for each type.
