Admin Auto Negotiation. Enables or disables Auto Negotiation on the LAG. Auto-negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that enables a LAG to advertise its transmission rate, duplex mode and flow control (the flow control default is disabled) abilities to its partner.

Current Auto Negotiation. The current Auto Negotiation setting.

Admin Speed. The configured speed at which the LAG is operating.

Current LAG Speed. The current speed at which the LAG is operating.

Admin Flow Control. Enables or disables flow control or enables the auto negotiation of flow control on the LAG.

Current Flow Control. The user-designated Flow Control setting.

PVE. Displays the PVE group to which the LAG is configured.

Select Ports

Ports. Displays the ports that are members of the selected LAG.

Port Management Tab - LACP

Aggregate ports can be linked into link-aggregation port groups. Each group is comprised of ports with the same speed, set to full-duplex operation.

Aggregated Links can be manually setup or automatically established by enabling Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on the relevant links. Aggregate ports can be linked into link-aggregation port-groups. Each group is comprised of ports with the same speed. The LACP screen contains fields for configuring LACP LAGs.

LACP System Priority. Indicates the global LACP priority value. The possible range is 1- 65535. The default value is 1.

Port. Defines the port number to which timeout and priority values are assigned.

LACP Port Priority. Defines the LACP priority value for the port. The field range is 1-65535.

LACP Timeout. Administrative LACP timeout. A short or Long timeout value can be selected. Long is the default.

Admin Key. A channel will only be formed between ports having the same admin key. This only applies to ports located on the same switch.

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.
