Domain manager service in EVE should skip PhysicalIO adapters that are used for system adapters of type vlan and bond. Physical IO adapters that are made part of vlans and bond interfaces from device model files can never be changed to app-direct interfaces.
NIM service should take care of not creating the kethx interfaces for physical IO adapters that are underlying adapters for other Vland or bond adapters. NIM should also have the additional logic of creating any non-existing vlan interfaces or bond interfaces in linux kernel when the edge node decides to change its DevicePortConfig. There should also be additional logic to remove any pre-created vlan/bond interfaces that are no longer part of the new DevicePortConfig that is being applied. Even though the vlan and bond interfaces being part of the device model cannot be added/deleted from user agents (UI/zcli), the edge node may in the event of prolonged network disconnection try to replace the running network configuration with last resort configuration. During such an event, NIM service should take care of creating new vlans/bonds that are required and remove any stale vlans/bonds that are not required according to the DevicePortConfig file being applied.
