ProSAFE FS526Tv2, FS726Tv2, and FS728TLP Smart Switches Interface Naming Conventions The smart switch supports physical and logical interfaces. In this guide, we refer to the hardware ports as physical interfaces and to the link aggregation groups (LAGs) as logical interfaces. Ports are identified by their type and the port number. The number of the port is identified on the front panel. You can configure the logical interfaces through the web management interface. Ports on Model FS728TLP Model FS728TLP has the following ports: • Physical ports 1-24 are Fast Ethernet ports (with ports 1-12 capable of providing PoE). • Physical ports 25 and 26 are Gigabit Ethernet ports. • Physical ports 27T and 28T are Gigabit Ethernet combo ports (in combination with slots 27F and 28F). • Physical slots 27F and 28F are small form-factor pluggable (SFP) GBIC slots, which function as combo ports (in combination with ports 27T and 28T). The following table describes the naming convention for all interfaces available on model FS728TLP. Table 1. Port naming conventions for model FS728TLP Port Description Name Physical The physical ports are numbered sequentially starting from e1. e1 through e24, and g25 through g28 Link Aggregation Group (LAG) LAG interfaces are logical interfaces that are used only for bridging functions. l1 through l8 CPU Management Interface The internal switch interface responsible for the smart switch c1 base MAC address. This interface is not configurable and is always listed in the MAC Address Table. Ports on Model FS726Tv2 Model FS726Tv2 has the following ports: • Physical ports 1-24 are Fast Ethernet ports. • Physical port 25 is a Gigabit Ethernet port. • Physical port 26T is a Gigabit Ethernet combo port (in combination with slots 26F). • Physical slot 26F is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) GBIC slot that functions as a combo port (in combination with ports 26T).
