Cisco Firepower 4100 Command Reference

set port-type
To set the port type for an interface, use the set port-type command.
set port-type {data | data-sharing | mgmt | firepower-eventing | cluster}
Syntax Description
Data interfaces cannot be shared between logical devices.data
Only supported with container instances, these data interfaces can be shared
by one or more logical devices/container instances (FTD-only). Each container
instance can communicate over the backplane with all other instances that
share this interface. Shared interfaces can affect the number of container
instances you can deploy. Shared interfaces are not supported for bridge group
member interfaces (in transparent mode or routed mode), inline sets, passive
interfaces, or failover links.
data-sharing
Use management interfaces to manage application instances. They can be
shared by one or more logical devices to access external hosts; logical devices
cannot communicate over this interface with other logical devices that share
the interface. You can only assign one management interface per logical device.
mgmt
This interface is a secondary management interface for FTD devices. To use
this interface, you must configure its IP address and other parameters at the
FTD CLI. For example, you can separate management traffic from events (such
as web events). See the "Management Interfaces" section in the Firepower
Management Center configuration guide System Configuration chapter.
Firepower-eventing interfaces can be shared by one or more logical devices
to access external hosts; logical devices cannot communicate over this interface
with other logical devices that share the interface.
firepower-eventing
Special interface type used for a clustered logical device. This type is
automatically assigned to the cluster control link for inter-unit cluster
communications. By default, the cluster control link is automatically created
on Port-channel 48.
