+Different network interfaces provide type-specific configuration. Ethernet
+interfaces, for example, allow the configuration of speed and duplex.
+
+Many services, such as network routing, firewall, and traffic policy also
+maintain interface-specific configuration. These will be covered in their
+respective sections.
