Add Interface elements

The Add Interface page contains these elements:

Table 12-15 Elements on the Add Interface Elements Page

Element	Description
Device	A new device can be specified from the list. The menu contains known interfaces on the platform. To associate the interface with an existing device, select a name from the list. To define a device not in the menu, enter a new name in the list. The named device must be a valid interface for the configuration task to complete successfully. PMAC running in a guest VM should not need to define devices that are not in the menu. On native hardware, alias or 802.1Q interfaces can be configured.
IP Address	A valid IPv4 address in dotted quad format or IPv6 prefix as a decimal integer for the selected device.
Description	An optional comment can be entered to help identify the interface.
Add Interface	Select to add validate fields, and upon success will return to the Network Interfaces work area showing the newly added interface with a notification box confirming the event. If the fields do not validate, an error box is displayed, and the work area remains in Add Interface.
Cancel	Select to return to the work area in the Network Interfaces page without changes.
