4.8 VLAN Setup

The VLAN tagging option is a standard set by the IEEE to facilitate the spanning of VLANs across multiple switches (Reference: IEEE standard 802.1Q-1998 Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks).

4.8.1 VLAN Administration

In this screen the user can add new VLAN groups by entering the VLAN ID and name.

4.8.2 VLAN Membership

Here the user can define VLAN groups by marking each port “T” (tagged) or “U” (untagged). Use the space bar to select “T” or “U”. Leaving a space blank will remove VLAN membership from the port.

4.8.3 Port VLAN ID (PVID) Settings

All untagged packets entering the switch will by default be tagged with the ID specified by the port’s PVID. This screen allows the user to specify the PVID for each port.

4.9 Port Trunking

Note: Please make sure that Spanning Tree is disabled before you set up Port Trunking.

Port Trunking is a feature that allows multiple links between switches to work as one virtual link or aggregate link. Trunks can be defined for similar port types only. For example, a 10/100 port cannot form a port trunk with a gigabit port. For 10/100 ports, trunks can only be formed within the same cluster. A cluster is a set of eight ports.

65120 specifications

Asante Technologies 65120 is a high-performance network switch specifically designed to meet the needs of modern business environments. It stands out for its advanced features that ensure efficient data management and robust network performance. One of the key characteristics of the 65120 is its ability to support Gigabit Ethernet, which allows for rapid data transfer rates, crucial for businesses that rely on high-speed internet for their operations.

Equipped with 24 ports, the 65120 provides ample connectivity options, allowing businesses to connect multiple devices, including computers, printers, and servers. This extensive port availability ensures that companies can expand their network effortlessly as they grow, without having to invest in additional switches. The switch also features a compact design, making it easy to install in various environments, whether in a server room or an office space.

The 65120 employs advanced technologies that enhance its operational efficiency. One notable feature is its support for VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) capabilities. VLANs allow network administrators to segment the network into smaller, manageable pieces, improving performance and security by isolating sensitive data traffic from regular network communication. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that handle sensitive customer information or require separate environments for different departments.

Additionally, the switch supports quality of service (QoS) features, which prioritize network traffic to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth necessary for smooth operation. This capability is essential for businesses that utilize voice-over IP (VoIP) or video conferencing technologies, where latency can significantly affect communication quality.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another significant advantage of the Asante Technologies 65120. This feature allows devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones to receive power through the network cable, eliminating the need for additional power sources and simplifying installation processes.

Overall, the Asante Technologies 65120 is a versatile and robust network switch designed for the evolving demands of modern businesses. Its combination of extensive port availability, advanced networking technologies such as VLAN support and QoS, and the convenience of PoE makes it an ideal choice for organizations seeking to enhance their network infrastructure while ensuring scalability and improved performance. This switch not only simplifies network management but also empowers businesses to stay competitive in an increasingly digital landscape.
