HP 1810G-24 showing Port 26 status in the logs??

[BigBadAl]

OK, so just mooching around in the pages of my switch, a 24 port switch and it has in the logs:

268 Info May 15 22:43:51 NIM Interface 26 is Link Down
269 Info May 15 22:43:51 NIM Interface 26 is Link Down
270 Info May 15 22:43:51 NIM event(39),intf(26),component(2), on non-existent interface

Now, correct me if I`m wrong but my switch only has 24 ports and two of those (23 and 24) are dual personality jobbies!?!

Where the hell is port 26? Where did it come from? and why did it need to show up only for the switch to realise that it doesn`t really exist?!?

So: numbers from 1 to 24 represent the real ports 1-24, 25 - "internal" port where switch's MAC "lives", 26,27... - trunk1, trunk2...
