Base Device(s)	The base device(s) for bond, alias, and VLAN device types. Note: Alias and VLAN devices require one selection; bond devices require two selections. This cannot be changed after the device is created.	Format: Options Range: Available base devices Default: N/A A Value is required.
IP Interfaces
Add IP Interface	Presents a row with a single address box and network list. Note: For each row, only one IP Address and network can be specified. To specify additional rows, clickAdd IP Interface.	Format: Button At least one entry is required.
