Interface Names

Add to the first column the names of the network interfaces that are used in your cluster. The supplied Netif section contains an extensive list of commonly used interface types to simplify this task.

By convention, network interface names include a trailing number as a way to distinguish multiple interfaces of the same type. For example, if your cluster includes two 100 Mbit/second Ethernet networks, include the names hme0 and hme1 in the Netif section.
