Introduction

Thank you for choosing Linksys WebView Switches. This User Guide covers five product models:

•• SRW2048  48-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with WebView. Includes 48 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and 4 shared SFP (MiniGBIC) slots.

•• SRW2024  24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with WebView. Includes 24 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and 2 shared SFP (MiniGBIC) slots.

•• SRW2016  16-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with WebView. Includes 16 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and 2 shared SFP (MiniGBIC) slots.

•• SRW248G4  48-port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView. Includes 48 10/100 RJ-45 ports and 4 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and 2 shared SFP (MiniGBIC) slots.

•• SRW224G4  24-port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView Includes 24 10/100 RJ-45 ports and 4 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and 2 shared SFP (MiniGBIC) slots.

For the purpose of this manual, whenever a feature applies to all models, the name WebView Switch will be referenced. If a specific model number is mentioned, then the feature is specific to that model.

The Linksys WebView Managed Switch allows you to expand your network securely. Configuration of the switch is secured using SSL for Web access. User control is secured using 802.1x security using a RADIUS authentication mechanism and can also be controlled using MAC-based filtering.

Extensive QoS features makes the solution ideal for real- time applications like Voice and Video. The 4 priority queues together with the Weighted Round Robin and Strict Priority scheduling techniques facilitate efficient coexistence of real-time traffic with data traffic allowing them each to meet their QoS needs.

Individual users or applications can be prioritized above others using various Class of Service options - by port, layer 2 priority (802.1p), and Layer 3 priority (TOS or DSCP). Intelligent Broadcast, and Multicast storm control minimizes and contain the effect of these types of traffic on regular traffic. IGMP Snooping limits bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the requestors without flooding to all users.

Incoming traffic can be policed and outgoing traffic can be shaped allowing you to control network access and traffic flow.

Introduction

There are features that allow you to expand and grow your network of switches. Link aggregation allows multiple high-bandwidth trunks between switches to be setup.

This also provides a level of reliability in that the system continues to operate if one of the links break. Spanning Tree (STP), Fast Linkover, Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP) allows you to build a mesh of switches increasing the availability of the system.

The rich management functionality of the WebView switches includes SNMP, RMON, Telnet, and HTTP Management options, allowing you to flexibly integrate and manage these devices in your network.

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.
