"show interface" on the trace origin system can help. An API trace -"custom-dump" as shown above may make it obvious how many loopback +dump as shown above may make it obvious how many loopback interfaces to create. If you see vhost interfaces being created and then configured, the first such configuration message in the trace will tell you how many physical interfaces were involved. |
