Configuration Using the Web-based Utility

Admin Key  (Read-only) A channel will only be formed between ports with the same admin key. This only applies to ports located on the same switch.

When you are finished entering the settings above, click Update to apply the settings.

LACP Port Table

This section provides a read-only display of the current LACP settings. For each port on the currently selected unit, this table displays the Port Priority, LACP Timeout, and Admin Key,

After you are finished setting the LACP parameters, click Save Settings to save the settings, or click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.

VLAN Management

A VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere in the network, but communicate as though they belong to the same physical segment.

VLANs help to simplify network management by allowing you to move devices to a new VLAN without having to change any physical connections. VLANs can be easily organized to reflect departmental groups (such as Marketing or R&D), usage groups (such as e-mail), or multicast groups (used for multimedia applications such as videoconferencing). You can create up to 128 VLANs on the Switch.

VLAN Management > Create VLAN

The Create VLAN screen lets you create and configure global parameters for VLANs.

VLAN Management > Create VLAN

Single VLAN

To create a single VLAN, enter the VLAN ID and VLAN Name, up to 32 characters long, and click Add.

VLAN ID  ID of the VLAN being configured (2-4093, no leading zeroes).

VLAN Name  Name of the VLAN (1 to 32 characters).

VLAN Range

To create a range of VLANs, enter the range of their IDs in the VLAN Range fields and then click Add Range.

VLAN Table

This lists the ID, name, and status of each configured VLAN, and the total number of VLANs. The VLAN status is either Static (user-defined VLAN) or Default (default VLAN).

To remove a VLAN or a range of VLANs, select the VLANs in the VLAN Table, then click Delete.

VLAN Management > Port Settings

The Port Settings screen allows you to manage the ports in a VLAN. The port default VLAN ID (PVID) is configured from the Port Settings screen. All untagged packets arriving at a VLAN port are tagged with the port’s PVID.

VLAN Management > Port Settings

You can configure VLAN behavior for specific ports, including the accepted frame type, VLAN identifier (PVID), and ingress filtering.

Unit No.  The number of the unit that you are managing. Port  The number of the port.

SLM224G4S specifications

The Linksys SLM224G4S is a sophisticated Layer 2 managed switch designed for businesses and institutions that demand high performance, reliability, and advanced networking features. This model stands out due to its blend of robustness and manageability, making it ideal for expanding networks.

One of the primary features of the SLM224G4S is its 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for high-speed data transfers essential for bandwidth-intensive applications. Supporting auto-negotiation, these ports can detect the capabilities of connected devices and configure themselves accordingly, ensuring optimal performance without manual intervention. With four additional shared Gigabit SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports, this switch provides flexibility in network design and enhances scalability.

The SLM224G4S supports VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) capabilities, which can segment network traffic to improve security and performance. This is particularly useful in environments where different departments or teams require distinct network segments for operational efficiency. By implementing VLANs, organizations can enhance their network management while isolating sensitive information from potential threats.

Quality of Service (QoS) is another critical technology integrated into the SLM224G4S. It prioritizes network traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need for optimal performance. This is particularly important for VoIP and video conferencing applications, where latency and jitter can significantly impact user experience.

The switch also features advanced Layer 2 management functionalities, including SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing IT administrators to monitor network performance and quickly troubleshoot issues. The embedded web-based management interface makes configuration straightforward, enabling quick adjustments to settings without deep networking knowledge.

Security is a paramount consideration in today’s networking landscape. The SLM224G4S provides robust security features, including port security that limits the number of MAC addresses allowed on a port, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Moreover, it supports802.1X port-based authentication, ensuring that only authenticated devices can connect to the network.

In summary, the Linksys SLM224G4S managed switch boasts features such as 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, VLAN support, QoS, SNMP management, and advanced security protocols. These characteristics make it an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their network's performance, safety, and reliability, paving the way for seamless connectivity in today’s digital age.
