Internal port names

Both external and internal ports are supported on the same module. Internal ports have an “i” suffix

to indicate that they are internal ports.

• “10GbE-INT” – Internal 10G data-plane ports (1i-2i, 4i-5i)

• “1GbE-INT” – Internal 1G control-plane port (3i)

Port 3i always shows as link-down.
