Interface Naming Convention

The ProSafe support 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. Table 2 describes the

naming convention for all interfaces available on the switch.
