WEB CONFIGURATION

•All ports can send and receive both VLAN-tagged and untagged packets (i.e. they are hybrid ports)

In the default configuration, any port is able to send traffic to any other port and a PC connected to any port will be able ro reach the management interface. Broadcast traffic, for example, will be flooded to all ports on the switch.

There are three different parameters that can be configured for each port on the switch; VLAN IDs (VLAN membership), PVID and Packet Type. Note that the ports within a Trunk cannot be configured individually; configure the Trunk instead (Trunks are labelled T1 to T8).

Field Attributes

•Port/Trunk – The front-panel port-number of the port or the ID of a trunk. This cannot be changed.

•VLAN ID – VLAN to which matching protocol traffic is forwarded. VLAN 1 is a special VLAN; it cannot be deleted and, if there is a possibility that a port could become isolated, the Web USer-interface will add the port to VLAN 1. You can add up to seven VLANs to the configuration of the switch. Each VLAN must be given a VLAN ID in the range 2-4094. One port can be a member of up to eight VLANs. All packets travelling through the switch are associated with one and only one VLAN. If a port is not a member of a VLAN, it cannot send or receive packets associated with that VLAN. A tagged packet carries its VLAN ID in the payload of the packet. An untagged packet, received on a port with Packet Type set to “All,” is associated with the VLAN identified by the PVID.

•PVID – VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames received on the interface. The PVID is (Port VLAN ID) is the VLAN ID that is associated with untagged, ingress packets. It is not possible to remove a port from VLAN 1 unless its PVID has been changed to something other than 1. The PVID has no effect on ports that have Packet Type set to Tagged. (Default: 1)

•Packet Type – Sets the interface to accept all frame types, including

SMCGS24-Smart, SMCGS16-Smart specifications

SMC Networks has been a reliable player in the networking market, and its SMCGS16-Smart and SMCGS24-Smart switches are prime examples of the company's commitment to providing innovative solutions for both small and medium-sized enterprises and larger networks.

The SMCGS16-Smart is a 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, while the SMCGS24-Smart expands that offering with 24 ports. Both switches are designed with versatility and performance in mind, making them suitable for various applications, including data centers, campus networks, and office environments.

One of the standout features of the SMCGS16-Smart and SMCGS24-Smart is their support for advanced Layer 2 functionalities. These smart switches facilitate traffic management via VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) for effective segmentation of network traffic. This capability enhances network security and optimizes performance by isolating broadcast traffic and reducing congestion.

Their Quality of Service (QoS) features enable prioritization of traffic, ensuring that latency-sensitive applications, such as VoIP or video conferencing, receive the necessary bandwidth and low delay for optimal performance. Additionally, both switches support Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), allowing multiple ports to work together for increased bandwidth and redundancy, which is crucial for high-availability environments.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another significant advantage of the SMCGS series. The switches deliver power to connected devices like IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional power sources. This capability not only saves on installation costs but also enables greater flexibility in device placement.

The user-friendly web management interface allows for easy configuration and monitoring of the switches' performance. It offers essential features like port mirroring and traffic monitoring, making it easier for IT administrators to troubleshoot and manage the network effectively.

Both switches come with a robust metal housing for enhanced durability and heat dissipation, ensuring reliable operation in various environments. This reliability, combined with their advanced features, makes the SMCGS16-Smart and SMCGS24-Smart valuable assets for any organization aiming to build a strong and efficient network infrastructure. SMC Networks has effectively positioned these switches as a solution for businesses seeking high performance, manageability, and scalability in their networking equipment.
