     WARNING:

     Use either the two 10 GbE ports or the four 1 GbE ports. Mixing these two is not supported.

   • maintenance—Use this value for configuring the management ports (Mgmt0-Mgmt2).

   • control—Use this value for configuring control traffic on the management ports (Mgmt0-Mgmt2), such as the HA control plane data.
