GS716Tv3, GS724Tv4, and GS748Tv5 Smart Switches Interface Naming Convention The switch supports physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are identified by their type and the interface number. All the physical ports are as follows: • GS716Tv3. Ports 1-16 are gigabit copper ports, and Port 17-18 are dedicated gigabit SFP ports· • GS724Tv4. Ports 1-24 are gigabit copper ports, and Port 25-26 are dedicated gigabit SFP ports· • GS748Tv5. Ports 1-46 are gigabit copper ports, Port 47-48 are combo ports that can be used as gigabit copper or SFP ports, and Ports 47-48 are dedicated gigabit SFP ports· 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 3. Interface naming conventions Interface Description Example Physical The physical ports include gigabit ports and are numbered g1, g2, g3 sequentially starting from one. Link aggregation group (LAG) LAG interfaces are logical interfaces that are only used 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.
