Netgear GS728TP – 28PT GE POE SMART SWITCH Administrator's Guide

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.

Physical

The physical ports include Gigabit ports and are numbered 
sequentially starting from 1.

g1, g2, g3

Link aggregation group (LAG)

LAG interfaces are logical interfaces that are used only for 
bridging functions. 

l1, l2, l3

CPU Management Interface

This is the internal switch interface responsible for the 
switch base MAC address. This interface is not 
configurable and is always listed in the MAC Address 
Table.
