Hi,
Why when I create an "epair" with a specific name there is only one segment using that given name while the other segment use the default name like nothing happened ?
I think there is an obvious reason for that or probably one way to do it correctly, but I can't see which one exactly.
Both segments are from the pair if we refer to their MAC address but they are named differently.
How can I fix it ?
Thank you in advance

Bash:
$ ifconfig epair create name pr_
pr_: flags=8862<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
ether 02:f0:dd:2f:32:0a
groups: epair
media: Ethernet 10Gbase-T (10Gbase-T <full-duplex>)
status: active
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
epair3b: flags=8862<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
ether 02:f0:dd:2f:32:0b
