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:

•Ports 1–10. Copper ports that operate at 100MB, 1G, or 10G.

•Ports 11–12. Combo ports that can act as 100M/1G/10G copper ports or 1G/10G 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 10 gigabit ports and are	xg1, xg2, xg3
	numbered sequentially starting from one using the following
	format: xgX. xg stands for 10G port and X is the port
	number.
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.
