You use the same processes and settings to define Interface Groups (as described in Creating Interface Groups.) The The process for Device Groups is straightforward.

The $ifType like /ether/ variable expression indicates how an expression can be interpreted to add Ethernet ports of varying types to the Group. the argument like allows a loose match against any port with the partial phrase ether in its identification. Considering the possibility of separating only 10/100 interfaces into a distinct group, you would use a more-specific expression such as:
