Currently IXP Manager looks only for type 6:

This appears to work for all switches besides Juniper.

Nick - as you know, in IXP Manager we have SwitchPort -> 
PhysicalInterface and the VirtualInterfaces being comprised of 
VlanInterfaces and PhysicalInterfaces.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding "logical unit" but it seems you're talking 
about an IXP Manager equivalent of VlanInterface here? If we allow these 
in then it will not line up the with logic we currently have.

Maybe we should discuss offline? I'll be afk a lot today.
