Abstract
A network device may include a number of ports each having one or more physical lanes. These physical lanes of the port may be used to implement interfaces through which the network device can communicate internally and/or with external equipment. Control circuitry on the network device may flexibly generate the interfaces to be identifiable in a manner independent of the physical lanes on which they are implemented. The control circuitry may use port profiles and/or module profile to generate the interfaces, if desired, and/or may receive user input usable to generate the interfaces.
