Network interfaces on your storage system

Your storage system supports physical network interfaces, such as Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and virtual network interfaces, such as interface group and virtual local area network (VLAN). Each of these network interface types has its own naming convention.

Your storage system supports the following types of physical network interfaces:

•	10/100/1000 Ethernet

•	Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)

•	10 Gigabit Ethernet

In addition, some storage system models have a physical network interface named e0M. It is a low-bandwidth interface of 100 Mbps and is used only for Data ONTAP management activities, such as running a Telnet, SSH, or RSH session.
