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.
