Chapter 3: Configuration

Port Isolation

Port Isolation provides for an apparatus and method to isolate ports on Layer 2 switches on the same VLAN to restrict traffic flow. The apparatus comprises a switch having said plurality of ports, each port configured as a protected port or a non-protected port. An address table memory stores an address table having a destination address and port number pair. A forwarding map generator generates a forwarding map, which is responsive to a destination address of a data packet. The method for isolating ports on a Layer 2 switch comprises configuring each of the ports on the Layer 2 switch as a protected port or a non-protected port. A destination address on a data packet is matched with a physical address on that Layer 2 switch and a forwarding map is generated for the data packet based upon the destination address on the data packet. The data packet is then sent to the plurali- ty of ports pursuant to the forwarding map generated based upon whether the ingress port was configured as a protected or non-protected port.

This section describes how to enable and disable port isolation on ports in a Private VLAN. A port member of a VLAN can be isolated to other isolated ports on the same VLAN and Private VLAN.

Web Interface

To configure Port Isolation configuration in the Web interface:

1.Click VLAN, Port Isolation.

2.Check the box of the port for which you want to enable Port Isolation.

3.Click Save.

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.
