(double tag).

 

1. if the tagged frame with TPID=0x8100, it becomes a

2. if the TPID of tagged frame is not 0x8100 (ex. 0x88A8), it

 

 

will be discarded.

When the port received tagged frames:

 

 

1. if an tagged frame with TPID=0x8100, it is forwarded.

 

 

2. if the TPID of tagged frame is not 0x8100 (ex. 0x88A8),

S-port will be set to 0x88A8.

 

When the port received tagged frames:

 

 

1. if an tagged frame with TPID=0x88A8, it is forwarded.

 

 

2. if the TPID of tagged frame is not 0x88A8 (ex. 0x8100), it

 

 

will be discarded.

 

S-custom-port

When the port received untagged frames, an untagged

 

frame obtain a tag (based on PVID) and is forwarded.

 

When the port received tagged frames:

 

1. if an tagged frame with TPID=0x88A8, it is forwarded.

 

2. if the TPID of tagged frame is not 0x88A8 (ex. 0x8100), it

 

will be discarded.

The TPID of frame transmitted by S-custom-port will be set to an self- customized value, which can be set by the user using the column of Ethertype for Custom S-ports.

Ingress Filtering: Enable ingress filtering on a port by checking the box. If ingress filtering is enabled and the ingress port is not

a member of the classified VLAN group of the frame, the frame is discarded (Do not forward). If ingress filtering is disabled and the ingress port is not a member of the classified VLAN group of the frame, however, the frame is still forwarded. By default, ingress filtering is disabled (untick).

Frame Type: Determines whether the port accepts all frames or only tagged/untagged frames. This parameter affects VLAN ingress processing. If the port only accepts tagged frames, untagged frames received on the port are discarded. By default, the field is set to All.

Egress Rule: Determines what device the port connect to. If the port connect to VLAN-unaware devices, such as terminal/ workstation, Access link should be used. If the port connects to VLANaware devices, for example, switch connect to switch, Trunk link should be used. The Hybrid link is used for more flexible applications.

Hybrid: If the tag of tagged frame is as the same as PVID, the tag of the frame will be removed. The frame becomes an untagged frame and transmitted. Any other tagged frame whose tag value is different from PVID are transmitted directly.

Trunk: All tagged frames with any tag value are transmitted.

Access: The tag of any tagged frame will be removed to become an untagged frame. These untagged frames will be transmitted.

PVID: Configures the Port VLAN identifier. The acceptable values are 1 through 4094. The default value is 1. When the port receives a untagged frame, the port will give a tag to it based on the value of PVID, and the frame becomes a tagged frame.

NOTE: The port must be a member of the same VLAN as the Port VLAN ID.

LPB2848A, LPB2826A, LPB2810A, PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco specifications

The Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch series, including the models LPB2810A, LPB2826A, and LPB2848A, presents a robust solution for businesses looking to enhance their network efficiency and reliability. Designed to support the growing demand for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, these switches provide the perfect backbone for modern network infrastructures.

One of the most significant features of this series is its PoE+ capability, which allows it to deliver power and data over a single Ethernet cable. This functionality simplifies cabling and installation, making it easier to deploy PoE devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The LPB2810A offers 8 PoE+ ports, the LPB2826A ups the ante with 24 ports, and the LPB2848A provides a whopping 48 ports, each capable of delivering up to 30 watts of power per port.

The managed switch system ensures that users can customize and optimize their network performance. With advanced features such as VLAN support, Quality of Service (QoS), and link aggregation, organizations can effectively manage traffic, prioritize critical applications, and potentially enhance overall network security. Furthermore, these switches support Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities, which allows for greater flexibility when implementing routing policies.

Another critical aspect of the LPB series is its built-in security features. The switches come equipped with advanced security protocols, including IEEE 802.1X port-based access control, which enables network administrators to authenticate devices before granting access to the network. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and ensures data integrity across the connected devices.

The Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switches are designed with reliability and ease of use in mind. Their fanless design promotes silent operation, making them ideal for deployment in both office environments and data centers. Additionally, the switches offer a user-friendly web-based interface and CLI options for straightforward management and configuration, catering to both novice and seasoned network administrators.

In conclusion, the Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch series, featuring models LPB2810A, LPB2826A, and LPB2848A, stands out with its power-efficient design, extensive port options, and advanced security measures. These switches are an excellent choice for organizations that require a dependable and scalable networking solution to support their growing Ethernet and PoE device needs.
