• Interface names indicate the default function of the interface (for
example, internal and external)
• Interface names indicate that the interface can be connected to any
network (for example, port1, port2, and portx)
• By default, interface names that include ha are configured with an HA
heartbeat device priority (see “Priorities of Heartbeat Device” on page 95)
If you have added VLAN subinterfaces, they also appear in the name list,
below the physical interface that they have been added to. See “VLAN
overview” on page 68.

information about administrative access options.
Status The administrative status for the interface.
If the administrative status is a green arrow, the interface is up and can
accept network traffic. If the administrative status is a red arrow, the
interface is administratively down and cannot accept traffic. To change the
administrative status, select Bring Down or Bring Up. For more information,
see “To bring down an interface that is administratively up” on page 60 and
“To start up an interface that is administratively down” on page 60.
