Configuring VLAN Interface Settings

 

 

 

 

 

To configure VLAN interface settings:

STEP 1 Select the port or LAG to configure and click Edit.

STEP 2 Configure the following settings for the selected port or LAG:

Interface VLAN Mode—Select an option to configure the port type with respect to VLAN membership and tagging.

-General—The port can be a member of one or more tagged or untagged VLANs. This mode allows the full capabilities specified in the IEEE 802.1Q specification, “VLAN Tagging.”

-Access—The port can accept only untagged frames. An access port can be a member of only one VLAN and it uses the VLAN ID as its port VLAN ID (PVID). Access ports are typically used to connect hosts, which become members of the VLAN by virtue of being physically connected to the port.

-Trunk—The port can be assigned to only one untagged VLAN, the native VLAN, and can be assigned to any number of tagged VLANs (or none). Trunk ports carry traffic for multiple VLANs from the switch to other network devices, such as an upstream router or an edge switch.

PVID—(General ports only) The port VLAN ID indicates the default VLAN that the interface is a member of. Set the PVID equal to a VLAN ID where the port is an untagged member. (For Access ports, the PVID is automatically set to the Access VLAN ID. For Trunk ports, the PVID is set to the configured Native VLAN ID or, if None is configured, to the default VLAN ID.)

Native VLAN—(Trunk ports only) The native VLAN identifies the one untagged VLAN membership for a trunk port. Select one of the following:

-None—The port has no untagged VLAN membership. The PVID for the port is set to the default VLAN ID.

-Default—The Native VLAN equals the default VLAN. The PVID for the port is also set to the default VLAN ID.

-User defined—The VLAN ID you specify is used as the untagged VLAN membership for the Trunk port. The PVID for the port is also set to the specified VLAN ID.

Access VLAN—(Access ports only) An access port can be a member of only one VLAN, the Access VLAN. The port VLAN ID is set to the Access

VLAN ID.

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
