Switch Port Mode

[Jo Kern]

Hi,

the LAN ports appear as role: Desktop&Ip Phone ports on the SRP521.

Does that mean they only support a limited number of MAc addresses and VLANS (similar to Dektop mode on a switch)

Hi Jo,

This really just indicates the VLAN trunking mode that the port is currently configured for:

1. If a port is configured in access mode for a specific VLAN, it is referred to as Desktop mode.

2. If a port belongs to the voice and data VLANs (1 and 100 by default), it is referred to as IP Phone + Desktop mode.

3. If a port belongs to two or more VLANs it is referred to as Switch/AP mode.

2 and 3 above allow you to define the native VLAN (PVID) for handling untagged traffic.

Hope this helps,
