Configuring VLAN Membership

 

 

 

 

 

If an Access port was a member of the deleted VLAN, the Access port becomes a member of the default VLAN and its PVID is changed to the default VLAN.

If a General port was configured to use the VLAN ID as its PVID, the General port’s PVID is changed to the default VLAN ID. No other VLAN memberships are changed.

Configuring VLAN Membership

You can use these pages to view and configure VLAN memberships:

The Port to VLAN page enables you to select a VLAN and configure its member ports. See Configuring Port to VLAN.

The Port VLAN Membership page enables you to select a port and configure it as a member of one or more VLANs. See Configuring Port VLAN Membership.

By default, all ports are members of VLAN 1. You can change the VLAN membership of any port. VLAN memberships can be configured as tagged or untagged.

If the switch receives an untagged frame from a VLAN, the switch will insert a VLAN tag before forwarding the frame to the egress ports that are configured as tagged members of the VLAN.

If the switch receives an untagged frame from a VLAN, the switch will forward the frame as is to egress ports that are configured as untagged members of the VLAN.

If the switch receives a tagged frame from a VLAN, the switch will remove the VLAN tag before forwarding the frame to the egress ports that are configured as untagged members of the VLAN.

If the switch receives a tagged frame from a VLAN, the switch will forward the frame as is to egress ports that are configured as tagged members of the VLAN.

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.
