Edit Interface Settings
=======================

You can change the settings for a host interface.

.. rubric:: |context|

The ability to change the interface settings is especially useful for
updating the management interface. When a worker node is first created, its
internal management interface is automatically set up using the default
**Interface Type** \(**ethernet**\). If you are using |LAG| on the internal
management network, you must update this manually to **aggregated ethernet**.
