•Coordinates—Switch GPS coordinates in hexadecimal format.

•ELIN Address—The ELIN number.

•Country—Country where the city is located. This is a two-character code as defined by ISO 3166.

•City—City where the street is located.

•Street—Street where the building is located.

•Building—Building in which the switch is located.

NOTE: The City, Street, and Building fields share the maximum character limitation; i.e., an entry in one field reduces the maximum allowable characters in the others. The maximum combine length of the city, street, and building fields is 246 characters. The characters ', ", %, and ? are not supported.

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

Configuring LLDP-MED on a Port

The LLDP for Media Endpoint Devices (LLDP-MED) protocol provides extensions to the LLDP standard for network configuration and policy, device location, Power- over-Ethernet management, and inventory management.

Use the LLDP-MED Port Settings page to view and configure LLDP-MED operation on ports.

To configure these settings on a port:

STEP 1 Click Administration > Discovery - LLDP-MED > LLDP-MED Port Settings in the navigation window.

Each entry in the LLDP-MED Port Settings Table displays the LLDP-MED configuration for a port.

STEP 2 Select a port to configure and click Edit.

STEP 3 Specify the following for the selected port:

•LLDP-MEDStatus—Select to enable LLDP-MED operation on the port.

•Configuration Notification—Select to enable the switch to send notifications when there are topology changes on the network.

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.
