NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports Model GS724TPv2
Interface Naming Conventions
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.
Configure Interface Settings
For some features that allow you to configure interface settings, you can apply the same
settings simultaneously to any of the following:
• A single port
• Multiple ports
• All ports
• A single LAG
• Multiple LAGs
• All LAGs
• Multiple ports and LAGs
• All ports and LAGs
Many of the pages that allow you to configure or view interface settings include links to
display all ports, all LAGs, or all ports and LAGs on the page.
