Configuration Using the Web-based Utility

Port  The port whose PoE settings are being configured. To configure a different port, select it from the drop-down menu.

Admin Status/Enable  This indicates if PoE is enabled or disabled on the port. To enable PoE on the port, keep the default, Enable (option selected). To disable PoE on the port, unselect the Enable option.

Priority  This indicates the PoE port’s priority. The values are Critical, High, and Low (default).

Power Allocation  (Read-only) This indicates the actual amount of power in milliwatts that the switch can supply on the port.

Power Consumption  (Read-only) This indicates the amount of power that is currently being consumed on the port.

VLAN Management

A VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere in the network, but communicate as though they belong to the same physical segment.

VLANs help to simplify network management by allowing youtomovedevicestoanewVLANwithouthavingtochange any physical connections. VLANs can be easily organized to reflect departmental groups (such as Marketing or R&D), usage groups (such as e-mail), or multicast groups (used for multimedia applications such as videoconferencing). You can create up to 128 VLANs on the Switch.

VLAN Management > Create VLAN

The Create VLAN screen lets you create and configure global parameters for VLANs.

VLAN Management > Create VLAN

Single VLAN

To create a single VLAN, enter the VLAN ID and VLAN Name, up to 32 characters long, and click Add.

VLAN ID  ID of the VLAN being configured (2-4093, no leading zeroes).

VLAN Name  Name of the VLAN (1 to 32 characters).

VLAN Range

To create a range of VLANs, enter the range of their IDs in the VLAN Range fields and then click Add Range.

VLAN Table

This lists the ID, name, and status of each configured VLAN, and the total number of VLANs. The VLAN status is either Static (user-defined VLAN) or Default (default VLAN).

To remove a VLAN or a range of VLANs, select the VLANs in the VLAN Table, then click Delete.

VLAN Management > Port Setting

The Port Setting screen allows you to manage the ports in a VLAN. The port default VLAN ID (PVID) is configured from the Port Setting screen. All untagged packets arriving at a VLAN port are tagged with the port’s PVID.

VLAN Management > Port Setting

You can configure VLAN behavior for specific ports, including the accepted frame type, VLAN identifier (PVID), and ingress filtering.

Unit No.  The number of the unit that you are managing. Port  The number of the port.

Acceptable Frame Type  This specifies the type of frames that the port will accept. If All (default) is selected, the port will accept all frame types, including tagged or untagged frames. If Tagged is selected, the port accepts only tagged frames. When set to All, each untagged frame received is assigned to the specific VLAN that matches the PVID.

PVID  Use this field to select the VLAN ID that will be assigned to untagged frames received on the port. Valid IDs are 1 (default) to 4093. VLAN 4094 is reserved for internal use. VLAN 4095 is defined per standard and industry practice as the Discard VLAN. Frames tagged for the Discard VLAN are dropped.
