The network ports on a TrueNAS M-Series 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 M-Series with CORE installed identifies its network ports with ixl followed by a number. With SCALE, eno followed by a number.

This table lists the default identification for each M-Series model and any add-on networking cards that have been qualified for use with an M-Series system. Some port identifiers are still being determined.
