1. Check the AIX system card information:

From This we can see:

Ent1 is the device name of the physical NIC, En0 or ET0 is the network interface name (logically), Enx (x is a number, representing the first few network cards) is a standard Ethernet interface, Et0 is an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface.

En0 is Ethernet II protocal interface

Et0 is 802.3 protocal interface

ent0 is hardware device INTERFACE

2. Check the NIC properties:

Physical devices and logical devices

1

2 A logical device is the interface that a user or application accesses a physical device, and a user or application accesses a physical device through a logical device.

3 and in many cases One physical device will correspond to multiple logical devices
