6. Interfaces Configuration

As explained in the Virtual Machine Installation section, the first interface of the virtual machine is always used to manage the system and is called management, the rest are used to process the user traffic and are called ifX, where X - is the interface index.

For example, if you pass three interfaces to the VM, you will then have the following set of interfaces:

interface management
interface if0
interface if1

For data interfaces, it is possible to create VLAN subinterfaces, as well as aggregate them using the LACP protocol.

The configuration of various types of interfaces is described in the corresponding sections:
