I think the interface name length is set to 10 characters to allow for VLAN support, where the resulting name would be an interface with name INTF.VLAN (with VLAN up to 4 digits), and the max length allowed by the kernel is 15 characters.

Hi, I am trying to bring up All-In-One-Duplex deployment. And as part of controller-1 configuration, setting OAM interface name of length 11 is failing.
OAM_IF=enp59s0f1d1 system host-if-modify controller-1 $OAM_IF -c platform Interface enp59s0f1d1 has name length greater than 10.
Thanks, Ankush
