VLAN CONFIGURATION

CLI – This example sets port 3 to accept only tagged frames, assigns PVID 3 as the native VLAN ID, enables GVRP, sets the GARP timers, and then sets the switchport mode to hybrid.

Private VLANs

Private VLANs provide port-based security and isolation between ports within the assigned VLAN. This switch supports three types of private VLAN ports: promiscuous, isolated, and community ports. A promiscuous port can communicate with all interfaces within a private VLAN. An isolated port can only communicate with promiscuous ports within its own VLAN. Community ports can only communicate with other ports in their own community VLAN, and with their designated promiscuous ports. (Note that private VLANs and normal VLANs can exist simultaneously within the same switch.)

Each private VLAN consists of two components: a primary VLAN and one or more community VLANs. A primary VLAN allows traffic to pass between promiscuous ports, and between promiscuous ports and community ports subordinate to the primary VLAN. A community VLAN conveys traffic between community ports, and from the community ports to their associated promiscuous ports. Multiple primary VLANs can be configured on this switch, and multiple community VLANs can be configured within each primary VLAN.

TigerSwitch specifications

The SMC Networks TigerSwitch series represents a robust line of Ethernet switches designed to cater to a wide range of networking needs, from small businesses to enterprise environments. With a strong emphasis on performance, reliability, and ease of use, the TigerSwitch series has garnered a reputation for delivering effective solutions for today’s demanding data communication requirements.

One of the standout features of the TigerSwitch is its support for Gigabit Ethernet, which enables higher data transfer rates and reduced latency. This performance boost is crucial for businesses that rely on bandwidth-heavy applications such as VoIP, video conferencing, and large file transfers. Many models in the series come with multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing businesses with the flexibility to connect various devices and expand their networks seamlessly.

The TigerSwitch series also incorporates advanced Layer 2 switching capabilities, including features such as VLAN support and QoS (Quality of Service). VLAN support allows network administrators to segment network traffic, enhancing security and improving overall network performance. By segregating traffic based on user groups or applications, VLANs help manage bandwidth more effectively. QoS is particularly important in environments where voice and video services compete for bandwidth, as it prioritizes critical applications ensuring minimal interruptions in service quality.

Another key characteristic of the TigerSwitch is its user-friendly management interface. Many models come with web-based management capabilities, making it simpler for network administrators to configure settings, monitor performance, and troubleshoot issues. Additionally, the series supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing for centralized network management and monitoring, which is essential for larger networks.

The TigerSwitch series also promotes energy efficiency, aligning with modern eco-friendly practices. Many of the switches feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing them to deliver power to connected devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points over the same Ethernet cable used for data. This not only simplifies cabling requirements but also contributes to reducing overall power consumption, which is a consideration for both cost savings and environmental impact.

In conclusion, the SMC Networks TigerSwitch series stands out due to its combination of performance, advanced features, and ease of management. With its Gigabit Ethernet capabilities, VLAN and QoS support, user-friendly interfaces, and energy-efficient design, the TigerSwitch is well-equipped to meet the diverse needs of modern networking environments, offering reliable solutions that cater to both current demands and future expansions.
