The following constraints are enforced to ensure system integrity and predictable behavior:

Scope

The configNetwork script supports:

Dual bridge configuration (bridge0 & bridge1).
Dual bond configuration when configuring 2 bridges:
- bond0 > bridge0
- bond1 > bridge1
VLAN Trunking support.
- When Configuring VLAN trunking:
  - Script can now configure 1-5 VLANs when using 1 Gbps Ports.
  - Script can now configure 1-10 VLANs when using 10/25 Gbps Ports.
  - Script can configure a dedicated bridge for every required VLAN.
  - VLAN trunking can be configured on either bridge0 or bridge1.
10/25GB NIC on ASP 130A3/A31
- Introduce support of the BCM57414 2x10/25GB Network Interface Card exclusively on the Dell R660xs profiles A3 and A31.
- Ports will be labeled as P7 (NIC 7) / ens1f0np0 (Hypervisor) & P8 (NIC 8) / ens1f1np1 (Hypervisor)

Note:

When bonding ports (active/backup or LACP), both must be at either 10GB or 25GB.

Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) is restricted to a single VLAN and cannot participate in trunking.
Cockpit must not be used to modify:
- bridge0, bridgeoob or bridge1 (if configured) when configured via the network script configNetwork.
VLAN tagging within the VM guest OS is unsupported

Caution:

Unsupported changes may lead to network failure or require a full host re-image to restore connectivity.
