Step 6) Confirm port mode
System will reboot
Wait for FMADIO OS to boot then confirm the setting using
ifconfig -aExpecting multiple interface named phy10, phy11, .. phy17 depending on the number of ports
In this example we configred 2×4×10G, total of 8 ports, thus expecting phy10 - phy17 present on the system
Example output shown below
