.. title:: ETH_NATIVE_POSIX_INTERFACE_COUNT

.. option:: CONFIG_ETH_NATIVE_POSIX_INTERFACE_COUNT

*Number of network interfaces created*

Type: ``int``

Help
====

By default only one network interface is created. It is possible
to create multiple interfaces in certain use cases. For example if
multiple ports are defined in gPTP, then multiple network interfaces
must be created here.
