NETGEAR GS752TP, GS728TPP Interface Naming Convention, Naming Convention for Switch Interfaces

GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switches

Interface Naming Convention

The switch supports physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are identified by their type and the interface number. The switches support the following ports:

•GS752TP. Ports 1–48 are 10/100/1000M AutoSensing Gigabit ports, and ports 49–52 are 100/1000M SFP ports. The first 8 ports are PoE+ providing 30W of DC power, and the remaining copper ports are PoE (Power over Environment) providing 15.4W of DC power.

•GS728TP. Ports 1–24 are 10/100/1000M AutoSensing Gigabit ports, and ports 25–28 are 100/1000M SFP ports. The first 8 ports are PoE+ providing 30W of DC power, and the remaining copper ports are PoE (Power over Environment) providing 15.4W of DC power.

•GS728TPP. Ports 1–24 are 10/100/1000M AutoSensing Gigabit ports, and ports 25–28 are 100/1000M SFP ports. All 24 copper ports are PoE+ providing 30W of DC power. This model includes an external power supply to support the increased power requirements.

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.
