Help¶

By default only one network interface is created. It is possible to create multiple interfaces in certain use cases. For example if multiple ports are defined in gPTP, then multiple network interfaces must be created here.

Direct dependencies¶

ETH_NATIVE_POSIX && NET_L2_ETHERNET

(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)

Defaults¶

NET_GPTP_NUM_PORTS if NET_GPTP
