"\"An index for the interface. The index is maintained across restarts of the managed system. The management system may require that the value of this object is within a certain value range depending of the type of interface. If the interface is a physical interface, the index matches the port number as printed on the front of the device. The management system allocates and assigns necessary indices for the physical ports. If the interface represents an ETS TTP, then the value of this is provided when the conceptual row is created. The management system may require the value to be within a range allocated for ETS TTPs. This would be a value larger than the highest physical port number, and lower than the value range reserved for interface groups. The next available index in this range can be retrieved from ethDevEtsNextIndex. If the interface represents an interface group, then the value of this is provided with the conceptual row is created. The management system may require the value to be within a range allocated for interface groups. This would be a value larger than or equal to the value of ethDevIfgFirstIndex. The next available index can be retrieved from ethDevIfgNextIndex.\"",
