Voice and Media

 

 

 

 

 

When a port is LLDP-MED enabled with network policy, the switch will advertise its Media VLANs in the LLDP-MED network policy TLVs out to the port. When a LLDP Media Endpoint is discovered, the switch will install the Media VLAN at the corresponding port. You can enable LLDP-MED and networking policy in the Administration > Discovery - LLDP pages.

Media VLAN is enabled and disabled globally. Each application and its Media

VLAN is configured on a per-port basis. For example, Guest Voice can be on

Media VLAN 1 on interface g1, but can be on Media VLAN 10 on interface g2.

The Media VLAN Interface Settings Table displays each media traffic type that can be enabled, and shows its status and settings on the selected port.

To configure Media VLAN applications:

STEP 1 Click VLAN management > Voice and Media > Media VLAN in the navigation window.

STEP 2 Select Enable for Admin Mode to globally enable this feature on the switch, and then click Apply.

STEP 3 Select an interface to configure from the Interface list.

CAUTION Ports that are members of a LAG cannot be enabled for Media VLAN applications (see Configuring LAGs).

STEP 4 From the Application list, select the media traffic type to configure:

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.
