The network ports on a TrueNAS Mini are identified differently based on what software is installed.

TrueNAS CORE utilizes driver information and enumeration to assign an interface name.

TrueNAS SCALE uses PCI location to assign an interface name.

By default, a TrueNAS Mini with CORE installed identifies its network ports with ix followed by a number. With SCALE, eno followed by a number.

This table lists the default identification for each Mini model and any add-on networking cards that have been qualified for use with a Mini.
