Hi Ran
The Marvell driver makes each port act like a normal Linux network
interface. So if you want to enable a port, do
ip link set lan0 up
Want to add an ip address to a port
ip addr add 10.42.42.42/24 dev lan0
Want to bridge two ports
ip link add name br0 type bridge
ip link set dev br0 up
ip link set dev lan0 master br0
ip link set dev lan1 master br0
Just treat them as normal interfaces.
Andrew
