Explanation

During VSX Gateway installation in a single Gateway environment, sysconfig is a basic OS-level configuration utility whose sole job is to establish management connectivity - it configures only the Management Interface so the Security Management Server can reach and manage the gateway. All other interfaces are defined later through SmartConsole/SmartDashboard after the VSX object is created and pushed.

• A (Dedicated Customer Interface): Customer-facing interfaces are logical constructs assigned to Virtual Systems after VSX is established via the management console - not set up during initial OS installation.
• B (Synchronization Interface): The sync interface is relevant to ClusterXL/VRRP high-availability setups; in a single gateway environment, no sync interface exists, and even in cluster environments it is configured post-installation.
• C (Internal Virtual Router Interface): Virtual Router interfaces are virtual constructs created entirely within the VSX framework through SmartConsole, never through sysconfig.
• D (External Interface): The external-facing interface is configured through SmartConsole as part of the VSX topology, not during the initial sysconfig run.

Memory tip: Think of sysconfig as "phone home first" - it sets up just enough (the Management Interface) for the management server to call the gateway and take over from there. Everything beyond that single connection is SmartConsole's job.
