User-Defined Fields
In the local browser interface, user-defined fields can contain 1 to 159 characters, unless
otherwise noted in the field label on the configuration page. All alphanumeric and special
characters can be used except for the following (unless specifically noted for that feature):
Interface Naming Conventions
The switch supports physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are identified by their type and
the interface number. For both models, the physical ports include 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports,
two SFP 1G ports, and two SFP+ 10G ports. The ports are numbered on the front panel. You
configure the logical interfaces by using the software.
The following table describes the naming convention for all interfaces available on the switch.

Description
Example
Physical
The physical ports include gigabit ports and are numbered
sequentially starting from 1 using the following format: gy.
g is for a 1G port and y is the port number.
The SFP+ 10G ports are prepended with an x.
g1, g2, g8

Link aggregation
group (LAG)
LAG interfaces are logical interfaces that are used only for bridging
functions.
