Linux interface naming conventions

Every type of SR Linux interface has an underlying interface in the Linux OS. These interfaces have names that adhere to Linux restrictions (maximum 15 characters and no slashes). The Linux interface name formats are as follows:

Loopback interfaces: loN, where N is 0 to 255; for example, lo0
Network interfaces: eslot-port-subinterface; for example, e4-2-1
Management interface: mgmt0
System interface: system0
LAG interface: lagN
IRB interface: irbN
