Create interfaces

You can create logical interfaces for use in aggregated Ethernet or VLAN-tagged configurations.

Ethernet network interfaces on hosts are created automatically in StarlingX based on detected hardware. You do not need to create them manually.

However, you can create new ethernet type logical interfaces on top of SR-IOV interfaces, which does require manual configuration as described in SR-IOV Port Sharing.

For aggregated Ethernet, where multiple physical interfaces are used to form a logical interface, or VLAN tagging, where a single physical interface is used for multiple logical interfaces, you can create and assign the logical interfaces.

To create aggregated Ethernet interfaces, see Configure Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces Using Horizon.

To create VLAN interfaces, see Configure VLAN Interfaces Using Horizon.
