Hi Pavel
The phydev name is not particularly nice:
!mdio-mux!mdio@1!switch@0!mdio:00
!mdio-mux!mdio@1!switch@0!mdio:01
!mdio-mux!mdio@1!switch@0!mdio:02
!mdio-mux!mdio@2!switch@0!mdio:00
!mdio-mux!mdio@2!switch@0!mdio:01
!mdio-mux!mdio@2!switch@0!mdio:02
!mdio-mux!mdio@4!switch@0!mdio:00
!mdio-mux!mdio@4!switch@0!mdio:01
!mdio-mux!mdio@4!switch@0!mdio:02
400d0000.ethernet-1:00
400d0000.ethernet-1:01
fixed-0:00
The interface name are:
1: lo:
2: eth0:
3: eth1:
4: lan0@eth1:
5: lan1@eth1:
6: lan2@eth1:
7: lan3@eth1:
8: lan4@eth1:
9: lan5@eth1:
10: lan6@eth1:
11: lan7@eth1:
12: lan8@eth1:
13: optical3@eth1:
14: optical4@eth1:
You could make a good guess at matching to two together, but it is
error prone. Phys are low level things which the user is not really
involved in. They interact with interface names. ethtool, ip, etc, all
use interface names. In fact, i don't know of any tool which uses
phydev names.
