After upgrading an AWS PX to 6.1, the cloud-init service may issue warnings during the boot process. These are innocuous and can safely be ignored.

NETF-5371

When an appliance first sees a NIC, it determines the name of the interface and saves that information to a database for future boots. Replacing a network card or reconfiguring virtual interfaces will assign new numbers to the interfaces. The original interface numbers will remain on the appliance although they are no longer applicable.

NETF-5349

Azure deployments require two network interfaces to be created before software is installed, one for management and another for packet capture. This software version does not support changes to network interfaces after installation.

NETF-4481

Authentication using CAC/PIV requires any uploaded CRL to be in PEM format. No other formats are supported.

NETF-4255

Restoration of headers on an encrypted storage device does not restore passphrases. For security, these items are kept separate and must be installed in two steps.
