No....
Again, here comes the famous 800 Series:
C891F and C89[67]VA have a 8 port Gigethernet-switch (no longer the FE
Switch form the not so famous 89[12] ), one GE WAN Port (combo) and one FE
WAN Port.
Gig0 is here one of the embedded switch-ports, while the WAN Port ist Gig8 .
There is no special (feature-fewer) "Mangement" Port where varying named
(not changeable) VRFs are hardcoded.
