* New Ethernet devices: en*, systemd network interface names.
-* Lagacy Ethernet devices: eth[N], where 0 ≤ N (`eth0`, `eth1`, ...)
+* Legacy Ethernet devices: eth[N], where 0 ≤ N (`eth0`, `eth1`, ...)
They are available when Proxmox VE has been updated by an earlier version.
* Bridge names: vmbr[N], where 0 ≤ N ≤ 4094 (`vmbr0` - `vmbr4094`)
This makes it easier to debug networks problems, because the device
names implies the device type.

Systemd Network Interface Names
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Two character prefixes based on the type of interface:
-
-* en — Enoernet
-
-* sl — serial line IP (slip)
-
-* wl — wlan
-
-* ww — wwan
-
-The next characters depence on the device driver and the fact which schema matches first.
+Systemd uses the two character prefix 'en' for Ethernet network
+devices. The next characters depends on the device driver and the fact
+which schema matches first.
* o<index>[n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>] — devices on board
* x<MAC> — device by MAC address
-The most common patterns are
+The most common patterns are:
* eno1 — is the first on board NIC
* enp3s0f1 — is the NIC on pcibus 3 slot 0 and use the NIC function 1.

Default Configuration using a Bridge
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The installation program creates a single bridge named `vmbr0`, which
-is connected to the first ethernet card `eno0`. The corresponding

configuration in `/etc/network/interfaces` looks like this:
