Smart Switch Series Software Manual

Switch> VLAN> IEEE802.1Q Tag VLAN

Depending on your model switch there are up to 64 static Tag VLAN groups supported on your switch. The VLAN tagging option is a standard set by the IEEE to facilitate the spanning of VLANs across multiple switches (Reference: Appendix A and IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998 Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks).

Click to select IEEE802.1Q VLAN. A screen pops up to confirm this change.

All ports are set belonging to VLAN 1 by default, all untagged.

From the page, you can create a new VLAN, add new ports to an existing VLAN, remove ports from an existing VLAN or, delete a VLAN.

Add a port to a VLAN Group

Under the VLAN ID drop down menu, select the VLAN you want to edit.

Click the box below the port number so that a ‘T’ (tagged) or ‘U’ (untagged) appears.

Click Apply.

Remove a port from a VLAN Group

Click the box again until a blank box appears. This will remove VLAN membership from the port.

Click Apply.

Note: The default PVID of all ports is 1; therefore, you cannot remove any ports for the default Tag VLAN. It means that before removing any desired port from default Tag VLAN, changes PVID of such desired port to the PVID other than 1.

Create a new VLAN Group

Under the VLAN ID drop down menu, select Add new VLAN.

Enter the VLAN ID “2” in the provided fields. VLAN ID must be set within 2 ~ 4094.

Add VLAN members if so desired; click the box below the port number so that a ‘T’ (tagged) or ‘U’ (untagged) appears.

Click Apply.

FS526T, FS750T2NA specifications

The NETGEAR FS750T2NA and FS526T are commendable offerings in the realm of unmanaged Ethernet switches, designed to cater to both home and small business networking needs. Boasting solid performance, these switches facilitate seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making them ideal for network expansion.

The NETGEAR FS750T2NA features 48 ports, ensuring ample connections for numerous devices. It supports auto-sensing technology, allowing devices to negotiate their speed and duplex settings, optimizing network efficiency. The switch is designed with a steel housing that enhances durability, which is critical for environments where space can be cramped.

Notably, the FS750T2NA supports a non-blocking switching architecture. This means that data can flow freely across all ports without encountering bottlenecks, delivering consistent performance, which is critical when several devices are active simultaneously. Furthermore, the FS750T2NA is equipped with IEEE 802.3x flow control, which ensures that frames are not dropped during heavy traffic, maintaining data integrity.

On the other hand, the FS526T, featuring 26 ports, offers a slightly smaller footprint while retaining robust performance. This switch also includes auto-sensing technology and a metal chassis, ensuring longevity. The FS526T caters well to environments where space is a limiting factor without compromising on performance.

Both switches support the energy-efficient IEEE 802.3az standard, which reduces power consumption during low network activity. This characteristic not only lowers operational costs but also contributes to a greener IT footprint. Moreover, users benefit from plug-and-play installation, enabling quick deployment without the need for complicated configuration.

The NETGEAR switches utilize advanced design to ensure low latency, thus enhancing the overall user experience, whether it be for data transfer, video streaming, or online gaming. Furthermore, the fanless design of the FS750T2NA and FS526T ensures silent operation, making them suitable for noise-sensitive environments.

In summary, the NETGEAR FS750T2NA and FS526T are highly effective unmanaged switches that offer substantial port availability, robust performance, energy efficiency, and ease of use. These devices stand out as reliable solutions for expanding and optimizing network connectivity in both home and small business setups.
