Linksys One Ready Communications Solution
1Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing a Linksys Ethernet switch. This Ethernet switch allows you to quickly and easily expand your Linksys One system. It delivers
Twenty four ports wire up your workstations or connect to other Linksys switches or devices. Linksys One Portal LED indicators provide power, link, and activity status.
The Ethernet switch features monitoring and configuration via the Linksys One Portal, your web browser, or the console interface. If your Ethernet switch is part of a Linksys One system, the easiest way to manage it is with the Linksys One Portal — available only on the Linksys One Services Router. Refer to the Linksys One Customer Premises Equipment Administration Guide for more details on the Linksys One Portal.
The Ethernet switch supports numerous security features including the Remote Authorization and Authentication (RADIUS) and Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) protocols. With Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), the Ethernet switch can synchronize its clock with a time server available on one of its attached networks.
The system is fully manageable using a combination of a database of MIB (Management Information Base) variables, whose combined values represent all facets of the system state, and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) protocol.
The “P” model of the Ethernet switch supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) which eliminates the need to run 110/220 VAC power to wireless network, IP telephony, or other PoE powered devices on the Linksys network. Use of a PoE system allows greater flexibility in locations of network devices, and significantly decreasing installation costs. The entire PoE system can be centrally powered by uninterruptible power supplies if necessary.
