Smart Switch Series Software Manual

•Setting up first VLAN group (IT), VLAN ID = 01, with membership of all ports.

Since VLAN ID 01 has been setup by default, you will have to remove the ports that belong to all other VLAN group except port 25.

•Ports 7 and 8 are kept for the usage of connecting file server and printer server. Sales and Marketing departments can share file archives and printing services.

•Port 25 provides Gigabit speed for email server and Internet connection.

The specific ports above have the following functions:

•VLAN 1: Port 15 – Port 18, Port 21 – Port 24, Port 26, for IT department to monitor and control activities on all other VLANs

•VLAN 2: Port 1 – Port 8, for Sales department, port 7 and 8 connect to file archives and printer server.

•VLAN 3: Port 7 – Port 14, for Marketing department, port 7 and 8 connect to file archives and printer server.

•VLAN 4: Port 19 – Port 20, for Accounting department, its work is kept secret from other departments except IT.

Scenarios:

If a packet comes in on port 2, it can go to ports 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 25, as those are the only ports in that VLAN. A Sales person on Port 2 can get to the Internet, send and receive email, but cannot access the marketing department print server or file archives.

If a Marketing user sends out a broadcast message, the Sales and Accounting departments will not be affected by the message, as it will not go out on their ports. Only the Marketing department and the IT group will get the broadcast message.

If an IT user sends out a broadcast message, everyone will get it.

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.
