The legend is printed at the bottom of the command, but in the case of the *, its meaning may be a little unclear. This is for software redundant ports, where an RJ45/Copper port shares port numbering with an SFP/Fiber port. You can set the priority for those and whether the link should prefer the fiber connection or the copper one.

Legend:

code:
