VLANs using one managed switch or link router to unmanaged …
A enterprise 4-port router (perhaps a Zyxel P660HN-51 or Draytek Vigor) that supports port-based VLANs, and plug our existing unmanaged switches into that: (obviously, I would restricted to 3-4 VLANs, but that's fine. Or, a large 24-port managed switch (like a Cisco), that supports allows me to define which of it's many ports belong to which VLANs.
switch - How managed switches handle Broadcast Multicast and …
After some research, I found out broadcast & multicast messages are handled by software level rather than hardware, the high CPU load causes packet drops. That's why I'd like to know how a switch (managed/unmanaged) handles each of the message types. – Anthony S. Jun 1, 2011 at 15:18. I'm referring to CPU load on a switch.
networking - LAG Managed to Unmanaged switch - Server Fault
Obviously I could get a 48 port managed switch, or 2 x 24 port managed switches, however I already have the new unmanaged switch. The unmanaged switch has 2 unused SFP ports. The managed switch I am looking at has 4 Ethernet SFP ports and 4 standard SFP ports, with all being 1 Gbps. Sorry if this is a stupid question.
What speed/duplex settings should I use to connect to an …
I have a small network connected with a 16 port unmanaged switch. Recently, the users were complaining about slow network speeds. I checked the switch and noticed that about half the ports were running at half-duplex. In order to try to force the connection to full-duplex, I changed the NIC settings on the PCs from auto-negotiate to 100/full.
security - vlans and unmanaged switches - Server Fault
Apr 19, 2021 · 1. There are 2 ways of handling VLANs. You have a physical port on a routing device and you tell it that any traffic that comes along with a destination header that matches your rule (such as 192.168.1.0/24, so all IP's between 192.168.1.0-254) gets sent down that cable. The switch will also helpfully add a VLAN ID to all that traffic so you ...
Does FreeNAS link aggregation work with an unmanaged switch?
Mar 27, 2017 · 1. We currently are running a FreeNAS server in our repair shop, we are hoping to upgrade the NIC to a 4-Port Gigabit card. The idea would be to bond/link together the 4 ports for higher throughput and load balancing to and from clients. We currently only have an unmanaged Netgear GS116 switch for our LAN, and from what I can tell on Netgear's ...
Do switches sometimes need rebooting? - Server Fault
Apr 27, 2012 · 19. Good ones - no. Bad ones - sometimes, but that's only because they're badly engineered. That's really all there is to it, really - if a switch requires regular rebooting then it's either faulty, or just a very poor switch. That said, as with all things with IT - sometimes things do go wrong. If it's the first time it's happened, keep an eye ...
switch - Managed Switches: Smart managed or fully managed?
1. We (a fast growing SMB) need new switches. Currently, all our switches are unmanaged. Now we need feature of managed switches, mainly features like VLANs, Port Mirroring, SNMP, adjusting the port speed. Currently, no fiber ports nor stackable switches are needed. Nice to have, but not a must are some PoE-ports for our WLAN accesspoints.
