SNMP > Global Parameters

The Global Parameters screen contains parameters for defining SNMP notification parameters.

SNMP > Global Parameters

Local Engine ID Indicates the local device engine ID. The fieldvalueisahexadecimalstring.Eachbyteinhexadecimal character strings consists of two hexadecimal digits. Each byte can be separated by a period or a colon. The Engine ID must be defined before SNMPv3 is enabled. For stand- alone devices, select a default Engine ID that is comprised of Enterprise number and the default MAC address. For a stackable system configure the Engine ID, and verify that the Engine ID is unique for the administrative domain. This prevents two devices in a network from having the same Engine ID.

Use Default Uses the device generated Engine ID. The default Engine ID is based on the device MAC address and is defined per standard as:

•• First 4 octets—first bit = 1, the rest is IANA Enterprise number.

•• Fifth octet—Set to 3 to indicate the MAC address that follows.

•• Last 6 octets—MAC address of the device.

SNMP Notifications Indicates if the device can send SNMP notifications.

Authentication Notifications Indicates if SNMP Authentication failure notification is enabled on the device.

SNMP > Views

SNMP Views provide access or block access to device features or feature aspects. For example, a view can be defined that states that SNMP Group A has Read Only (R/O) access to Multicast groups, while SNMP Group B has Read-Write (R/W) access to Multicast groups. Feature access is granted via the MIB name, or MIB Object ID.

SNMP > Views

View Name Displays the user-defined views. The options are as follows:

•• Default Displays the default SNMP view for read and read/write views.

•• DefaultSuper Displays the default SNMP view for administrator views.

Subtree IDTree Indicates the device feature OID included or excluded in the selected SNMP view. The options to select the Subtree are as follows:

•• Select from List Select the Subtree from the list provided.

•• Insert Enables a Subtree not included in the Select from List field to be entered.

View Type Indicates if the defined OID branch will be included or excluded in the selected SNMP view.

Use the Add to List button to add the Views configuration to the Views Table at the bottom of the screen.

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.

Another notable characteristic of the Linksys SRW2048 is its robust build quality and reliability. With a metal chassis and fanless design, it maintains a low acoustic footprint and ensures passive cooling, making it suitable for office environments.

Overall, the Linksys SRW2048 is a feature-rich managed switch that combines advanced networking technologies, efficient performance, and security features to meet the diverse needs of modern businesses. Its scalability, manageability, and robust construction make it a valuable addition to any network infrastructure.
