Interface Naming Convention
The switch supports physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are identified by their type and the interface number. The physical ports are gigabit interfaces and 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.
Interface | Description | Example |
|
|
|
Physical | The physical ports are gigabit Ethernet interfaces and | g1, g2, g3 |
| are numbered sequentially starting from one. |
|
|
|
|
Link Aggregation Group (LAG) | LAG interfaces are logical interfaces that are only | l1, l2, l3 |
| used for bridging functions. | LAG1, LAG2 |
|
|
|
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. |
