In Kubernetes deployments, there are always a number of virtual interfaces, this isn't an issue until you are trying to look at the details of physical interfaces, and the virtual ones scroll the physical ones off the page. You can use a grep command to hide the virtual interfaces to stop this this though.

Lets say I use an IP command to list the interfaces on a Linux instance.

  ip -br -c a

I will see something similar to the following output.
