Hi,
I have a pair of 1572EACs that I'm configuring to be a bridge link. According to the documentation this has 4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports but when I go onto the command line there are 5!
Does anyone know what the 5 Gigabit ports map to in terms of the physical interfaces on the 1572?
I know there is an Ethernet port, a POE In port, a POE Out Port, and a Fibre Port. Whats the fifth one?
When I configure using the GUI it show me 5 gig ports and allows me to configure VLANs to be on Gig 1 - 4, but when I look at the CLI it has configured Gig 0 as well. What is this?
If anyone can tell me what ports G0 to G5 relate to I would be most grateful.
Thanks,

I've been in touch with the UK Cisco Wireless expert and he says the fifth Gigabit port is for a Service Providers Out of Band connection. I queried with him which physical port does this map to but he wasn't able to identify this.
So it looks like the fifth gigabit port is not for general use and there is probably a module/adapter to allow a service provider to connect to this. In the absence of any other information this is good enough for me. Unless you know otherwise?

Hi David,
Five Gigabit ports? In the list you have given one is a console port and the other is a serial port. I don't think either of these will map to a Gigabit port.
