Configuring Advanced Features

Port-Based Virtual LANs (Static VLANs)

Converting a Dynamic VLAN to a Static VLAN. If GVRP is running on the switch and a port dynamically joins a VLAN, you can use the next command to convert the dynamic VLAN to a static VLAN. (For GVRP and dynamic VLAN operation, see “GVRP” on page 9-74.)This is necessary if you want to make the VLAN permanent. Note that after you convert a dynamic VLAN to static, you must configure the switch’s per-port participation in the VLAN in the same way that you would for any static VLAN.

 

Syntax:

static-vlan <vlan-id>

 

 

If you need a VID reference, use show vlan to list the switch’s currently existing

 

VLANs.

 

 

 

For example, suppose a dynamic VLAN with a VID of 125 exists on the switch.

 

The following command converts the VLAN to a static VLAN.

 

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# static-vlan 125

 

Configuring Static VLAN Name and Per-Port Settings. The vlan <vlan-

 

id> command, used in conjunction with the options listed below, enables you

 

to change the name of an existing static VLAN and change the per-port VLAN

 

membership settings as show below.

 

 

 

N o t e

You can use these options from the configuration level by beginning the

 

command with vlan <vlan-id>, or from the context level of the specific VLAN.

 

Syntax:

name <vlan-name>

Changes the name of the existing

 

 

 

 

static VLAN. (No spaces allowed in the

 

 

[no] tagged <port-list>

<vlan-name>entry.

 

 

Configures the indicated port(s) as

 

 

 

Tagged for the specified VLAN. The

 

 

 

“no” version sets the port(s) to

 

 

 

either No or (if GVRP is enabled) to Auto.

 

 

[no] untagged <port-list>Configures the indicated port(s) as

 

 

 

Untagged for the specified VLAN. The

 

 

 

“no” version sets the port(s) to

 

 

[no] forbid <port-list>

either No or (if GVRP is enabled) to Auto.

 

 

Configures the indicated port(s) as

 

 

 

“forbidden” to participate in the

 

 

 

designated VLAN. The “no” version sets

 

 

 

the port(s) to either No or (if GVRP is

 

 

auto <port-list>

enabled) to Auto.

 

 

Available if GVRP is enabled on the

 

 

 

switch. Returns the per-port settings

 

 

 

for the specified VLAN to Auto

One of the standout features of the SMC6624M is its Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of network management. The switch supports VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), which allow administrators to segment network traffic for improved security and performance. This capability is essential for organizations looking to optimize their network resources and apply policies that enhance security.

The SMC6624M also integrates advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, enabling the prioritization of network traffic. This is particularly useful for applications such as VoIP and video conferencing, where maintaining low latency and jitter is crucial for ensuring a seamless user experience. Users can define traffic classes and manage bandwidth allocation, which helps in maintaining the quality of critical applications even during peak usage times.

In terms of connectivity and performance, the SMC6624M includes 4 Gigabit SFP ports, allowing for fiber optic connections to extend network reach and provide flexibility in deployment. The ability to take advantage of high-speed fiber connections means businesses can scale their networks as needed without significant infrastructure changes.

Management options for the SMC6624M are comprehensive. It supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for monitoring and managing network performance effectively. Additionally, the switch can be configured using a web-based interface, command-line interface (CLI), or through SNMP, providing flexibility to network administrators with different preferences and expertise.

Furthermore, the SMC6624M is built with a fanless design, which ensures quiet operation and is energy efficient. Its compact form factor and sturdy build make it suitable for installation in various environments, including data centers and office settings.

Overall, the SMC Networks SMC6624M stands out for its combination of speed, flexibility, and management features, making it an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their network infrastructure.
