command to save the interface configuration. Otherwise, the interface index changes after the
switch startup.

1.21.3 Setting the Maximum Number of Interfaces with Constant
Indexes
As the system runs, interfaces are added or deleted frequently, generating large number of
interface index files. These files are stored in the storage device, which consumes excessive
system resources. To ensure that the interface index file is within the expected size, you can set
the maximum number of fixed indexes for the interface.
