Management Interface

STEP 3 Select one of the following options for the IP Address Type:

•DHCP—The management interface obtains its IPv4 address from a DHCP server. DHCP is enabled by default and the switch requests an IP address from a DHCP server. If it is unable to get the IP address from a server, the switch falls back to the factory default static IP address. The System LED flashes continuously and the switch keeps trying to get its IP address from a DHCP server. If you set a static IP address, the LED stops flashing. The factory default static IP address is 192.168.1.254/24, with a default gateway IP address of 192.168.1.1.

•BOOTP—The management interface obtains its IPv4 address from a BOOTP server.

•Static—The management interface IPv4 address assigned in the IP Address field.

If the IP Address Type is set to Static, specify the following:

-IP Address—Enter an IPv4 address.

-Mask—Enter a 32-bit network mask (for example, 255.255.255.0).

Or select Prefix Length and specify the number of bits (0–32) that make up the network prefix (for example, 24).

-Default Gateway—Select User Defined and specify the default gateway IP address for management packets.

Or select None to prevent management packets from being transmitted outside the subnet.

•Operational Default Gateway—The current default gateway in use.

•Renew DHCP—Select Renew DHCP and click Apply to send a request to the DHCP server for a new IP address and related parameters.

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

CAUTION Changing the management IP address and IP Address Type terminates the current management session. Changing the Management VLAN and its port memberships might disrupt your communication with the switch and thus might terminate the current management session.

Cisco Small Business SG200 Series 8-port Smart Switch

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.
