GS716T - Uplink Question

Hi,
Does anyone know if either fibre or copper ports can be used for uplinks? I know this is possbile with the FS750T2NA.
By looking at some pictures, I understand that in some versions ports 15,16,17 and 18 can be used as uplinks (see picture below).
Nonetheless, I have found other pictures online where ports 15 and 16 are not grouped together with the fibre ports and therefore my doubt.
Also, what's the difference between v1, v2 and v3?
Thanks a lot,
Nicolas

Hi @nikouy
These ports are combo-ports. They are grouped together in pairs so that, port 15T and 15F are grouped and 16T and 16F are also grouped together.
You cannot use grouped ports, at the same time. This means that you cannot use 15T and 15F and the same time. Same with 16T and 16F. However, you can use either the 15T or 15F port alongside the 16T or 16F port.
There might be a difference between v1, v2 and v3. The two former are older models, now end-of-life.
Cheers

Thank you for the quick reply.
I think that answers my question. So considering that this switch has auto auplink in all ports, I can either use either any of the last copper or any of the two fibre ports as uplinks but not any of the combo-ports together at the same time, is this correct?

Nicolas

Re: GS716T - Uplink Question
Hi again,
Yes, you are correct. To summarize; these are the uplink ports you can use together.
15T and 16T
15T and 16F
15F and 16T
15F and 16F
Cheers
