Advanced—LACP Configuration
The LACP Configuration screen lets you set the LACP system priority, which specifies the
device’s link aggregation priority relative to the devices at the other ends of the links on which link
aggregation is enabled. To configure LACP:
1.
Select Switching > LAG > Advanced > LACP Configuration. A screen similar to the
following displays.
The LACP System Setting field is the only configurable field in this screen:
LACP System Setting
. LACP Port priority ranges from 0 to 65536. A higher value
indicates a lower priority. The default value is randomly selected.
2.
Click
Apply
to confirm any settings changes.
Advanced—LACP Port Configuration
The LACP Port Configuration screen, which is also referred to as the LACP Port Priority screen,
lets you set the LACP port priority and time-out value:
1.
Select Switching > LAG > Advanced > LACP Port Configuration. A screen similar to the
following displays.

You can make changes to the LACP port priority settings for an individual port, for a group of
ports, or for all ports simultaneously:
To change the LACP port priority settings for an individual port, select the check box to
the left of its port number, and then select the LACP port priority settings.
To change the LACP port priority settings for a group of ports, select the check boxes to
the left of their port numbers, and then select the LACP port priority settings.
To change the LACP port priority settings for all ports simultaneously, select the check
box at the top of the column of check boxes, and then select the LACP port priority
settings.
The following information about the LACP priority for a port is displayed. Both the LACP
Priority and Timeout fields are configurable.
Port
. Shows the port number.
LACP Priority
. Specifies the port priority value in a range from 1 to 65335.

Note:
You can also enter the interface number (that is, the port number) in the
GO
TO INTERFACE
field, and then click
GO

VLAN
A virtual local area network (VLAN) is a way to electronically separate ports on the same switch
(from a single broadcast domain) into separate broadcast domains so that broadcast packets are not
sent to all the ports on a single switch. When you use a VLAN, users can be grouped by logical
function instead of physical location. The GS108T Smart Switch supports IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
and port-based VLANs, but not combination of both:
IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
The settings on the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN screen control the VLAN membership of each port
for transmitting packets. Also, these settings determine if transmitted packets from each port
are tagged with the VLAN ID and other information. The switch supports 64 tag-based
VLANs.
By default, every port is a member of VLAN 1, and so they have a port VLAN ID (PVID)
of 1.
Port-based VLANs
Single or multiple ports are grouped into a smaller virtual network, which is independent of
the other ports. The switch supports 8 port-based VLANs. Any user-assigned VLAN cannot
have member ports that belong to different port groups.
Basic—VLAN Configuration
The Basic VLAN Configuration screen lets you select the VLAN type and create VLANs. You
can select to create either IEEE 802.1Q VLANs or port-based VLANs. The screen functions
differently for IEEE 802.1Q VLANs than it does for port-based VLANs.
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Configuration
To configure the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN type:
1.
Select Switching > VLAN > Basic > VLAN Configuration. A screen similar to the following
displays.

Select the
IEEE 802.1Q
radio button to specify the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN type.
3.
The Warning screen displays. Click

.
The following information about the VLAN configuration is displayed. Both the VLAN ID
and VLAN Name fields are configurable:
VLAN ID
. Specifies a VLAN ID from 1 to 4094.
VLAN Name
. Specifies the optional VLAN description.
4.
Perform one of the following actions:
To add a VLAN:
a.
Enter a number in the
VLAN ID
field.
b.
Enter a name in the
VLAN Name
field.
c.
Click
Add
.
To delete a VLAN:
a.
Select the check box to the left of the VLAN ID that you want to remove.
b.
Click
Delete
.

Changing the VLAN type erases all existing VLAN settings, static
multicast groups, and trusted MAC addresses.
