Expanded number of Eth interfaces per physical
interface
This Software Version expands logical Ethernet interfaces (not VLAN) to 1000
per physical eth interface. Logical Eth interfaces can be numbered from 0 to
999, for example eth0-0 to eth0-999. Note that if you use the GUI to view
interfaces and have configured a large number, the Interface page may take
several minutes to display.
The add ip interface and set ip interface commands reflect this change, along
with other related commands, such as those to enable and delete IP interfaces.

following table summarises the new and modified commands:
