Locked port security also enables storing a list of MAC addresses in the configuration file. The MAC address list can be restored after the device has been reset.

Disabled ports are activated from the Port Security page.

Interface. Displays the port or LAG name.

Lock Interface. Selecting this option locks the specified interface.

Learning Mode. Defines the locked port type. The Learning Mode field is enabled only if Locked is selected in the

Interface Status field.The possible field values are:

Classic Lock. Locks the port using the classic lock mechanism. The port is immediately locked, regardless of the number of addresses that have already been learned.

Limited Dynamic Lock. Locks the port by deleting the current dynamic MAC addresses associated with the port. The port learns up to the maximum addresses allowed on the port. Both relearning and aging MAC addresses are enabled.

In order to change the Learning Mode, the Lock Interface must be set to Unlocked. Once the mode is changed, the

Lock Interface can be reinstated.

Max Entries. Specifies the number of MAC addresses that can be learned on the port. The Max Entries field is enabled only if Locked is selected in the Interface Status field. In addition, the Limited Dynamic Lock mode is selected. The default is 1.

Action on Violation. Indicates the action to be applied to packets arriving on a locked port. The possible field values are:

Discard. Discards packets from any unlearned source. This is the default value.

Forward Normal. Forwards packets from an unknown source without learning the MAC address.

Discard Disable. Discards packets from any unlearned source and shuts down the port. The port remains shut down until reactivated, or until the device is reset.

Enable Trap. Enables traps when a packet is received on a locked port.

Trap Frequency. The amount of time (in seconds) between traps. The default value is 10 seconds.

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.
