LEDs

POWER  (Green)  Lights up green to indicate that power is being supplied to the Switch.

LINK/ACT (1-24) (Green/Amber) Lights up green to indicate a functional 10/100-Mbps network link through the corresponding port (1 through 24) with an attached device. It flashes to indicate that the Switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port. Lights up amber to indicate a 1000-Mbps connection on the corresponding port (1 through 24) with an attached device. It flashes to indicate that the Switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port.

ETHERNET 1-24 The Switch is equipped with 24 auto-sensing Ethernet network ports, which use RJ-45 connectors. The Fast Ethernet ports support network speeds.The Fast Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps. They can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.

MiniGBIC (1-2) The miniGBIC (gigabit interface converter) port is a connection point for a miniGBIC expansion module, so the Switch can be uplinked via fiber to another switch. The MiniGBIC port provides a link to a high-speed network segment or individual workstation at speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.

Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 miniGBIC modules with the Switch. The MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling with LC connectors, while the MGBT1 requires a Category 5e Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector.

NOTE: On the SRW2024, MiniGBIC ports are shared with standard ports. If a miniGBIC port is used, then the shared standard port on the Switch cannot be used. The following table provides port mapping details of the SRW2024 Switch.

SRW2016, SRW224G4, SRW2024, SRW2048, SRW248G4 specifications

The Linksys SRW2048 is a robust Layer 2 managed switch that caters to the networking needs of small to medium-sized businesses. Designed with performance and reliability in mind, it provides features that ensure optimal network efficiency and security.

One of the standout features of the SRW2048 is its 48 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling high-speed data transfer and seamless connectivity for various devices within the network. This makes it ideal for environments with heavy data traffic, ensuring minimal latency and high performance.

The SRW2048 also supports advanced Layer 2 management features, including VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) support, which allows users to segment the network into smaller, manageable sections. This is crucial for improving security and performance, as it reduces unnecessary traffic and potential broadcast storms. With a VLAN configuration, businesses can group users and devices based on function or department, ensuring efficient communication within teams.

In addition to VLAN capabilities, the Linksys SRW2048 incorporates Quality of Service (QoS) features. This technology prioritizes critical network traffic, such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video conferencing, ensuring that these applications receive the bandwidth they require for optimal performance. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on real-time communication tools.

The switch also enhances security through features such as IEEE 802.1X port security, which ensures that only authorized users can access the network. The SRW2048 supports access control lists (ACLs), allowing administrators to set specific permissions for users and devices, further tightening security.

Linksys has also equipped the SRW2048 with a user-friendly web-based management interface, simplifying the process of configuring and monitoring network performance. This accessible interface allows IT personnel to quickly identify issues, manage traffic, and configure settings without extensive training.
