Advanced Configuration

VLAN Management > VLAN to Ports

The VLAN to Ports screen contains fields for configuring VLANs to a ports.

VLAN Management > VLAN to Ports

Port  Displays the interface number.

Mode  Indicates the port-to-VLAN mode. The possible field values are:

•• General  Indicates the port belongs to VLANs, and each VLAN is user-defined as tagged or untagged (full 802.1Q mode).

•• Access  Indicates the port belongs to a single untagged VLAN. When a port is in Access mode, the packet types which are accepted on the port cannot be designated. Ingress filtering cannot be enabled or disabled on an access port.

•• Trunk  Indicates the port belongs to VLANs in which all ports are tagged, except for one port that can be untagged.

Join VLAN  Defines the VLANs to which the interface is joined.

VLAN to Ports > Join VLAN

VLANs  Displays the PVID tag.

LAG  Indicates if the port is a member of a LAG. If it is a member of a LAG, it cannot be configured to a VLAN. The LAG to which it belongs can be configured to a VLAN.

VLAN Management > GVRP

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is specifically provided for automatic distribution of VLAN membership information among VLAN-aware bridges. GVRP allows VLAN-aware bridges to automatically learn VLANs to bridge ports mapping, without having to individually configure each bridge and register VLAN membership.

VLAN Management > GVRP

The Global System LAG information displays the same field information as the ports, but represents the LAG GVRP information.

The GVRP screen is divided into two areas, GVRP and GVRP Table. The field definitions for both areas are the same.

Enable GVRP  Enables and disables GVRP on the device.

Interface  Displays the interface on which GVRP is enabled. The possible field values are:

•• Port  Indicates the port number on which GVRP is enabled.

•• LAG  Indicates the LAG number on which GVRP is enabled.

GVRP State  Check this checkbox to enable GVRP on the interface.

Dynamic VLAN Creation  Check this checkbox to enable Dynamic VLAN creation on the interface.

GVRP Registration  Check this checkbox to enable VLAN registration through GVRP on the device.

The Update button adds the configured GVRP setting to the table at the bottom of the screen.

The Linksys SRW2048 is a robust Layer 2 managed switch that caters to the networking needs of small to medium-sized businesses. Designed with performance and reliability in mind, it provides features that ensure optimal network efficiency and security.

One of the standout features of the SRW2048 is its 48 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling high-speed data transfer and seamless connectivity for various devices within the network. This makes it ideal for environments with heavy data traffic, ensuring minimal latency and high performance.

The SRW2048 also supports advanced Layer 2 management features, including VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) support, which allows users to segment the network into smaller, manageable sections. This is crucial for improving security and performance, as it reduces unnecessary traffic and potential broadcast storms. With a VLAN configuration, businesses can group users and devices based on function or department, ensuring efficient communication within teams.

In addition to VLAN capabilities, the Linksys SRW2048 incorporates Quality of Service (QoS) features. This technology prioritizes critical network traffic, such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video conferencing, ensuring that these applications receive the bandwidth they require for optimal performance. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on real-time communication tools.

The switch also enhances security through features such as IEEE 802.1X port security, which ensures that only authorized users can access the network. The SRW2048 supports access control lists (ACLs), allowing administrators to set specific permissions for users and devices, further tightening security.

Linksys has also equipped the SRW2048 with a user-friendly web-based management interface, simplifying the process of configuring and monitoring network performance. This accessible interface allows IT personnel to quickly identify issues, manage traffic, and configure settings without extensive training.

Another notable characteristic of the Linksys SRW2048 is its robust build quality and reliability. With a metal chassis and fanless design, it maintains a low acoustic footprint and ensures passive cooling, making it suitable for office environments.

Overall, the Linksys SRW2048 is a feature-rich managed switch that combines advanced networking technologies, efficient performance, and security features to meet the diverse needs of modern businesses. Its scalability, manageability, and robust construction make it a valuable addition to any network infrastructure.
