Subject: [PATCH v2 4/8] doc: correct typos in switch representation guide
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 11:46:03 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260128194722.480862-5-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260128194722.480862-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
Two typos corrected:
- "according on" to "according to"
- "physical of virtual" to "physical or virtual"
Correct minor grammatical issue in the switch representation guide:
- Add missing article "a" before "large number of ports"
Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>
