GS716T and GS724T Gigabit Smart Switches
Interface Naming Convention
The GS716T and GS724T Smart Switches supports physical and logical interfaces.
Interfaces are identified by their type and the interface number. All the physical ports 1–48
are Gigabit ports and the SFP Ports 47–50 support 1000M Speed fiber modules. Ports 47–48
are Combo ports and ports 49–50 will support dedicated SFP modules. The number of the
port is identified on the front panel. You can configure the logical interfaces by using the
software. The following table describes the naming convention for all interfaces available on
the switch.
Interface
Description
Example
Physical
The physical ports include Gigabit ports and are
numbered sequentially starting from one.
g1, g2, g3
Link Aggregation Group (LAG) LAG interfaces are logical interfaces that are only
used for bridging functions.
l1, l2, l3
CPU Management Interface
This is the internal switch interface responsible for the
switch base MAC address. This interface is not
configurable and is always listed in the MAC Address
Table.
