add-port

add-port [name] [description]
The "add-port" command can be used to add the definition of a physical network
port to the configuration. Typically this is done automatically when new
ports are added to a system, i.e. by installing an additional network interface
card.

A port will not work until it has been assigned a MAC address of an available network
port (i.e. the MAC address is not used by any already existing port).

RESTAPI: The Json-data will be copied to the new port.
The data can be passed in the body like this:
{
    "parameters": {
        "name": "lan0"
    }
}
