Adding Static Members to VLANs (VLAN Index)

Use the VLAN Static Table to configure port members for the selected VLAN index. Assign ports as tagged if they are connected to 802.1Q VLAN compliant devices, or untagged they are not connected to any VLAN-aware devices. Or configure a port as forbidden to prevent the switch from automatically adding it to a VLAN via the GVRP protocol.

Notes: 1. You can also use the VLAN Static Membership by Port page to configure VLAN groups based on the port index (page 3-114). However, note that this configuration page can only add ports to a VLAN as tagged members.

2.VLAN 1 is the default untagged VLAN containing all ports on the switch, and can only be modified by first reassigning the default port VLAN ID as described under “Configuring VLAN Behavior for Interfaces” on page 3-115.

Command Attributes

VLAN – ID of configured VLAN (1-4094).

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

Status – Enables or disables the specified VLAN.

-Enable: VLAN is operational.

-Disable: VLAN is suspended; i.e., does not pass packets.

Port – Port identifier.

GSW-2692 specifications

The LevelOne GSW-2692 is an advanced Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch that is designed to cater to the networking needs of both small and medium-sized enterprises. Highly regarded for its reliability and performance, the GSW-2692 offers 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling seamless and high-speed data transfers across connected devices. With its robust design and versatile capabilities, this switch has earned its place as an essential component in modern IT infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the GSW-2692 is its extensive support for advanced networking technologies. The switch includes support for IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, which allows users to create separate virtual networks for improved traffic management and enhanced security. By segregating network traffic, businesses can optimize bandwidth usage and reduce congestion, contributing to overall increased network performance.

Additionally, the GSW-2692 supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), ensuring loop-free network topology. This capability is crucial in larger networking environments where multiple switches are interconnected, as it prevents broadcast storms and enhances network resilience. The switch also includes features such as port mirroring, which provides administrators with the capability to monitor network traffic in real-time for troubleshooting and analysis.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is another significant advantage of the GSW-2692. With PoE functionality, it enables the switch to deliver electrical power along with data to connected devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points, eliminating the need for additional power sources and simplifying installations.

In terms of physical characteristics, the LevelOne GSW-2692 is designed for efficient heat dissipation and features a fanless design, which ensures silent operation. Its desktop or rack-mountable options make it flexible for various installation environments. The switch also features a web-based management interface, which simplifies the configuration and monitoring processes, allowing for intuitive management of network settings.

Overall, the LevelOne GSW-2692 stands out as a feature-rich, reliable, and high-performance networking solution that meets the demands of modern enterprises. Its combination of advanced technologies, scalability, and ease of use makes it an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their network infrastructure.
