Configuring Port VLAN Membership

To configure VLAN settings for ports:

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

By default, the page displays VLAN information for each port. You can use the filter settings to display the VLAN information for LAG ports. The page displays the interface VLAN mode (Trunk, Access, or General), the PVID, and the VLAN membership(s). If a port is a member of multiple VLANs, you can select the port and click Detail to display this information for a single port.

STEP 2 Select a port or LAG to configure and click Edit.

STEP 3 To assign or remove a VLAN membership, use the arrow buttons as described below.

To add a VLAN membership: Click a VLAN in the Available list, change its Tagging properties if needed (see below), and then click the right-arrow button to move it to the Selected list.

To remove a VLAN membership: Click a VLAN in the Selected list, and then click the left-arrow button to move it to the Available list.

Tagging and PVID Properties

Depending on the interface VLAN mode (Trunk, Access, or General), when you select a VLAN in the Available list, you can specify the following properties for the interface before moving the VLAN to the Selected list for the interface.

Membership—The interface can be configured as a tagged or untagged member of the selected VLAN.

-Tagged—If selected, the port is a tagged member of the selected VLAN. When the switch forwards packets it receives for this VLAN through this interface, it adds the VLAN ID to the packet.

-Untagged—If selected, the port will be an untagged member of the selected VLAN. When the switch forwards packets for this VLAN through this interface, it does not add the VLAN ID to the packet.

If the interface VLAN mode is General, you can select either option for any VLAN. If the interface VLAN mode is Access, only one VLAN can be selected and the Untagged option must be selected for the interface. If the interface VLAN mode is Trunk, the interface can be specified as an Untagged member of one VLAN and can be specified as a Tagged member of other VLANs.

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.
