CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

CLI – This example shows the switch configured with primary VLAN 5 and secondary VLAN 6. Port 3 has been configured as a promiscuous port and mapped to VLAN 5, while ports 4 and 5 have been configured as a host ports and associated with VLAN 6. This means that traffic for port 4 and 5 can only pass through port 3.

Configuring Private VLAN Interfaces

Use the Private VLAN Port Configuration and Private VLAN Trunk Configuration menus to set the private VLAN interface type, and associate the interfaces with a private VLAN.

Command Attributes

•Port/Trunk – The switch interface.

•PVLAN Port Type – Sets the private VLAN port types.

-Normal – The port is not configured into a private VLAN.

-Host – The port is a community port and can only communicate with other ports in its own community VLAN, and with the designated promiscuous port(s).

-Promiscuous – A promiscuous port can communicate with all interfaces within a private VLAN.

•Primary VLAN – Conveys traffic between promiscuous ports, and between promiscuous ports and community ports within the associated secondary VLANs. If PVLAN type is “Promiscuous,” then specify the associated primary VLAN. For “Host” type, the Primary VLAN displayed is the one to which the selected secondary VLAN has been associated.

•Secondary VLAN – On this switch, all secondary VLANs are community VLANs. A community VLAN conveys traffic between community ports, and from community ports to their designated

SMC6824M specifications

The SMC Networks SMC6824M is a robust and reliable managed switch that caters to the needs of small to mid-sized businesses, as well as enterprise environments. This switch is designed to provide enhanced performance, scalability, and security for network infrastructures that require efficient traffic management and comprehensive control.

One of the key features of the SMC6824M is its 24 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, which offer lightning-fast Ethernet connectivity. These ports are capable of auto-negotiation, allowing devices to automatically adjust their settings for optimal performance, making it easier to integrate various hardware into existing networks. Additionally, the switch includes four Gigabit SFP slots for fiber uplinks, which allow for extended connectivity options and improved network design.

The SMC6824M employs advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities, giving network administrators the tools they need to manage their networks effectively. It supports features like VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) support and Quality of Service (QoS), ensuring efficient bandwidth management and enhanced performance for critical applications. Through VLAN segmentation, it can isolate network traffic for different departments or functions, enhancing security and reducing congestion.

The switch also offers comprehensive network management capabilities through SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and a web-based interface, enabling easy configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. The SMC6824M includes support for port mirroring, which is important for diagnostics and monitoring network performance.

Another significant characteristic of the SMC6824M is its redundancy features, which include IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to prevent loops and provide network resilience. This is essential for maintaining continuous operation, especially in dynamic environments where network availability is critical.

In terms of security, the SMC6824M supports 802.1X port-based authentication, ensuring that only authorized devices gain access to the network. This feature is crucial for protecting sensitive data and maintaining the integrity of the network.

Overall, the SMC Networks SMC6824M is a versatile and feature-rich managed switch that delivers the performance and flexibility required to support growing networks. Its combination of layer management, security features, and user-friendly interface makes it an excellent choice for organizations looking to enhance their network infrastructure.
