WebView Switches

Duplex. This is the port duplex mode, Full (transmission occurs in both directions simultaneously) or Half (transmission occurs in only one direction at a time). This mode can be configured only when auto-negotiation is disabled and port speed is set to 10Mbps or 100Mbps. It cannot be configured on Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs).

MDI/MIDX. This is the MDI/MDIX status of the port. The MDI setting is used if the port is connected to an end station. The MDIX setting is used if the port is connected to a hub or another switch.

Flow Control. This is the flow control status of the port. It is active when the port uses Full Duplex Mode.

Type. Displays the port type.

LAG. This indicates if the port is part of a LAG.

PVE. When a port is a Private VLAN Edge (PVE) port, it bypasses the Forwarding Database and forwards all unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic to an uplink. Uplinks can be ports or LAGs.

Detail. The Detail button will open the Port Configuration Detail screen.

Port. The number of the port.

Description. Displays a brief description of the port (can be entered by clicking on the Detail button).

Port Type. This is the port type.

Admin Status. The port can be taken offline by selecting the Down option. When Up is selected, the port can be accessed normally.

Current Port Status. The current status of the port is displayed here.

Reactivate Suspended Port. If you want to reactivate a port that has been suspended, click the checkbox.

Operational Status. This indicates whether or not the port is active.

Admin Speed. Change the speed of the port here.

Current Port Speed. The current speed of the port is displayed here.

Admin Duplex. Change the duplex mode here.

Current Duplex Mode. This is the duplex mode of the port.

SRW2008MP, SRW2008, SRW2008P specifications

The Linksys SRW2008P, SRW2008, and SRW2008MP are robust Layer 2 managed switches designed to meet the demands of small to medium-sized businesses looking for reliable networking solutions. These switches offer a range of features tailored to enhance network performance and security, making them ideal for both simple and complex networking environments.

The SRW2008P is notable for its Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, enabling it to deliver power and data to PoE-compatible devices such as IP cameras and VoIP phones over a single Ethernet cable. This feature simplifies cabling requirements by reducing the need for separate power outlets, thereby streamlining installation and reducing clutter. With eight 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, the SRW2008P can cater to multiple devices, providing flexible connectivity options.

In contrast, the SRW2008 model focuses on delivering advanced layer 2 switching features without PoE functionality. It also boasts eight 10/100 Mbps ports and offers a comprehensive set of management features that include VLAN support, port mirroring, and Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization. These capabilities are essential for creating efficient and well-organized networks, allowing administrators to segment traffic and prioritize important data streams, which is crucial for maintaining optimal network performance.

The SRW2008MP model combines the features of the SRW2008 and SRW2008P with enhanced managed capabilities. It includes more advanced management features, allowing for greater control over traffic and network performance. The SRW2008MP supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, making it suitable for businesses looking to implement more sophisticated routing and switching protocols. With support for static routing, businesses can optimize their network traffic and improve overall efficiency.

All three models employ advanced technologies such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which enhance network resilience and bandwidth utilization. Furthermore, they come equipped with user-friendly web-based interfaces for easy configuration and monitoring, ensuring that network administration is straightforward.

In summary, the Linksys SRW2008P, SRW2008, and SRW2008MP switches deliver a combination of performance, reliability, and advanced management features ideal for small to medium-sized enterprises. Their PoE capabilities, robust VLAN support, and user-friendly interfaces make them versatile solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure.
