Connecting the Switch

Desktop Placement

•Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch..

•Place the Switch on a desktop near an AC power source..

•Keep enough ventilation space for the switch and check the environmental restrictions mentioned in “Appendix C: Specifications” as you are placing the Switch..

•Connect the Switch to network devices according to the Hardware Installation instructions below..

Attaching the Switch’s Rubber Feet

Rack-Mount Placement

To rack-mount the Switch in any standard 19-inch rack, follow the instructions described below..

1 . Place the Switch on a hard flat surface with the front panel faced towards your front side..

2 . Attach a rack–mount bracket to one side of the Switch with the supplied screws and secure the bracket tightly..

Attaching the Brackets

3 . Follow the same steps to attach the other bracket to the opposite side..

4 . After the brackets are attached to the Switch, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to any standard 19-inch rack..

Mounting in Rack

5 . Connect the Switch to network devices according to the Hardware Installation instructions below..

Hardware Installation

To connect network devices to the Switch, follow these instructions:

1 . Make sure all the devices you will connect to the Switch are powered off..

2 . Connect a Category 5 Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the Switch..

3 . Connect the other end to a PC or other network device..

4 . Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices.. If pre-standard or 802..3af-compliant PoE devices are connected to the Switch’s 10/100 ports, the Switch automatically supplies the required power..

5 . If you are using a miniGBIC port, then connect a miniGBIC module to the miniGBIC port.. For detailed instructions, refer to the module’s documentation..

6 . Connect the supplied power cord to the Switch’s power port, and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.. When connecting power, always use a surge protector..

7 . Power on the devices connected to the Switch.. Each active port’s corresponding LED will light up on the Switch..

Uplinking the Switch

To uplink the Switch, connect one end of a Cat 5 (or better) Ethernet network cable into one of the 4 gigabit ports, and then connect the other end of the cable into the peripheral device’s uplink port.. MDI/MDIX will automatically detect the speed and cable type..

The hardware installation is complete.. Proceed to“Chapter

4:Configuration using the Console Interface”, for directions on how to set up the Switch..

SRW248G4P specifications

Cisco Systems SRW248G4P is a high-performance Layer 2 switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses that require robust networking solutions. This switch supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), providing a highly flexible option for powering devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras.

One of the standout features of the SRW248G4P is its 48 10/100 Ethernet ports, which ensure ample connectivity for various networked devices. Additionally, it offers four Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports, allowing for seamless integration with existing network infrastructure and facilitating high-speed data transfer. The combination of these ports enables businesses to expand their network capabilities as needed without the immediate requirement for added devices.

The SRW248G4P comes equipped with advanced Layer 2 switching capabilities, including VLAN support, which enables the segmentation of network traffic for improved performance and security. It also supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which help prevent network loops and ensure redundancy. With features like Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), multiple physical connections can be combined into a single logical link, enhancing bandwidth and providing failover capabilities.

Another critical attribute of the Cisco SRW248G4P is its user-friendly management interface. The switch can be managed through a web-based interface, allowing IT administrators to configure settings, monitor performance, and troubleshoot issues with ease. Additionally, it supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for integration with network management systems, further simplifying monitoring tasks.

Power over Ethernet functionality is a significant advantage of the SRW248G4P, providing up to 15.4 watts per port. This capability simplifies installation and reduces the clutter of power cords and outlets. Organizations can deploy PoE-enabled devices in locations that lack power sources, thus enhancing overall flexibility in network design.

In summary, the Cisco Systems SRW248G4P is a feature-rich switch tailored for small to medium-sized enterprises. Its blend of performance, management capabilities, and advanced features like PoE makes it a valuable asset in any organization's networking setup. By ensuring reliable connectivity and ease of management, businesses can focus more on growth and their core objectives rather than worrying about network complexities.
