Configuring the Switch

Adding Static Members to VLANs (VLAN Index)

Notes: 1. Use the VLAN Static Table to configure port members for the selected VLAN index. Assign ports as tagged if they are connected to 802.1Q VLAN compliant devices, or untagged they are not connected to any VLAN-aware devices.You can also use the VLAN Static Membership by Port page to configure VLAN groups based on the port index (page 3-93). However, note that this configuration page can only add ports to a VLAN as tagged members.

2.VLAN 1 is the default untagged VLAN containing all ports on the switch, and can only be modified by first reassigning the default port VLAN ID as described under “Configuring VLAN Behavior for Interfaces” on page 3-94.

Command Attributes

VLAN – ID of configured VLAN (1-4094, no leading zeroes).

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

Status – Enables or disables the specified VLAN.

-Enable: VLAN is operational.

-Disable: VLAN is suspended; i.e., does not pass packets.

Port – Port identifier.

Trunk – Trunk identifier.

Membership Type – Select VLAN membership for each interface by marking the appropriate radio button for a port or trunk:

-Tagged: Interface is a member of the VLAN. All packets transmitted by the port will be tagged, that is, carry a tag and therefore carry VLAN or CoS information.

-Untagged: Interface is a member of the VLAN. All packets transmitted by the port will be untagged, that is, not carry a tag and therefore not carry VLAN or CoS information. Note that an interface must be assigned to at least one group as an untagged port.

-None: Interface is not a member of the VLAN. Packets associated with this VLAN will not be transmitted by the interface.

Trunk Member – Indicates if a port is a member of a trunk. To add a trunk to the selected VLAN, use the last table on the VLAN Static Table page.

It boasts a compact 1U design, making it highly efficient for space-constrained environments. One of its standout features is the support for Ethernet Flow Control, which significantly reduces data loss during peak traffic loads. This is essential for businesses that rely on real-time data processing and streaming.

In terms of scalability, the VS4512 supports up to 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which can be expanded using four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports. This flexibility allows enterprises to customize their network architecture to meet their growing demands, whether they are scaling up for more users or enhancing service capabilities.

The VS4512DC, on the other hand, is the DC version tailored for data centers. It offers similar features as the VS4512 but includes enhancements for power efficiency and redundancy, ensuring that operations can continue smoothly even in power outage scenarios. The VS4512DC features dual power supplies and advanced thermal management, allowing for improved heat dissipation and lower operational costs.

Both models support advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, enabling efficient traffic management across complex networks. They also incorporate features like VLAN segmentation and link aggregation, which facilitate better bandwidth utilization and improved network security.

Security is another cornerstone of these switches, with features such as DHCP snooping, port security, and storm control to mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access and network congestion.

In summary, the Accton Technology VS4512 and VS4512DC switches represent significant advancements in networking technology, equipped with a comprehensive set of features tailored for modern enterprise needs. With their scalability, robust performance, and focus on security, these switches are positioned to meet the challenges of today's fast-paced digital environments, making them a preferred choice for organizations aiming to enhance their network infrastructure.
