Now this is confusing me. The documentation says that it only works for
token ring and serial interfaces. But when you do a ? it shows ethernet too.
I have a router with two ethernet interfaces and it allows me to add each of
them separately to two different port lists. Can you explain this ? will it
work ?

Thanks
