Configuring Port to VLAN

Use the Port to VLAN page to:

Configure ports as members of a selected VLAN.

Specify that when a port receives packets from the selected VLAN, the packets are tagged with the VLAN ID upon forwarding.

Specify that the selected VLAN ID serves as the port VLAN ID (i.e., the selected VLAN ID is added when the port forwards packets that it receives with no VLAN membership).

To configure port VLAN memberships:

STEP 1 Click VLAN Management > Port To VLAN in the navigation window.

The configured interface port mode (access, trunk, or general) of each port affects how the port can be assigned to VLANs. See Configuring VLAN Interface Settings for instructions on configuring the port mode setting.

STEP 2 Select the VLAN ID to configure and use the Interface Type list to display either ports or LAGs.

STEP 3 For each interface, configure the following parameters:

Member—Check this box if a port is to be member of the VLAN. Uncheck this box if a port is not to be member of the VLAN. A port is not member of the VLAN by default.

Tagged—Select Tagged if all the packets of the VLAN egress to the port are to be tagged. Otherwise, select Untagged. A trunk port is tagged by default. This option is only relevant if the port is a member of the VLAN.

Untagged—Select Untagged if the packets from the VLAN egress to the port are to be untagged. Otherwise, select Tagged. An access port is always untagged. A general port is untagged by default. This option is relevant only if the port is a member of the VLAN.

PVID—Check this box if a port is to use the selected VLAN ID as its port VLAN ID (PVID). Otherwise, uncheck this box. If PVID is selected for an access or trunk port, the port must be an untagged member of the VLAN. Untagged packets received from the port will be assigned to the corresponding VLAN.

STEP 4 Click Apply. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.

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.
