GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switches Interface Naming Convention The switch supports physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are identified by their type and the interface number. The switch support the following ports: • Ports 1-8. PoE (Power over Ethernet) Power Source Equipment (PSE) ports providing up to 15.4 W power • Ports 9-14. 10/100/1000 Mbps switching ports • Ports 15-16. PD ports receiving power from power devices. These ports can receive AT power, AF power or no power. For further information about PoE ports, see PoE 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. Table 2. Naming Convention for Switch Interfaces Interface Description Example Physical The physical ports include Gigabit ports and are numbered g1, g2, g3 sequentially starting from 1. Link aggregation group (LAG) LAG interfaces are logical interfaces that are used only for l1, l2, l3 bridging functions. CPU Management Interface This is the internal switch interface responsible for the c1 switch base MAC address. This interface is not configurable and is always listed in the MAC Address Table. 25
