System Summary

 

 

 

 

 

Port—The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) port number for the service.

IP Address—The IP address, if any, of a remote device that is connected to this service on the switch.

Remote Port—The IANA port number of any remote device communicating with this service.

State—The state of the service. For UDP, only connections in the Active state display in the table. In the Active state, a connection is established between the switch and a client or server. The TCP states are:

-Listen—The service is listening for connection requests.

-Active—A connection session is established and packets are being transmitted and received.

-Established—A connection session is established between the switch and a server or client, depending on each device’s role with respect to this protocol.

Configuring System Settings

To configure the system settings:

STEP 1 Click Status and Statistics > System Summary. The System Summary page opens.

STEP 2 Click Edit to modify the following settings:

System Location—Enter the location where the switch is physically located.

System Contact—Enter the name of a contact person.

Hostname—Enter the hostname. Use only letters, digits, and hyphens. Host names cannot begin or end with a hyphen. No other symbols, punctuation characters, or blank spaces are permitted (as specified in RFC1033, RFC1034, and RFC1035). The default hostname is the word switch followed by the last three octets of the base MAC address. For example, a switch with a MAC address of 010203040506 has the default hostname switch040506.

STEP 3 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.
