Security Tab - Multiple Hosts

The Multiple Hosts screen allows network managers to configure advanced port-based authentication settings for specific ports and VLANs.

Port. Displays the port number for which advanced port-based authentication is enabled.

Enable Multiple Hosts. When checked, indicates that multiple hosts are enabled. Multiple hosts must be enabled in order to either disable the ingress-filter, or to use port-lock security on the selected port.

Action on Violation. Defines the action to be applied to packets arriving in single-host mode, from a host whose MAC address is not the supplicant MAC address. The possible field values are:

•Discard. Discards the packets. This is the default value.

•Forward. Forwards the packet.

•Discard Disable. Discards the packets and shuts down the port. The ports remains shut down until reactivated, or until the device is reset.

Enable Traps. When checked, indicates that traps are enabled for Multiple Hosts.

Trap Frequency. Defines the time period by which traps are sent to the host. The Trap Frequency (1-1000000) field can be defined only if multiple hosts are disabled. The default is 10 seconds.

Status. Indicates the host status. If there is an asterisk (*), the port is either not linked or is down. The possible field values are:

Number of Violations. Indicates the number of packets that arrived on the interface in single-host mode, from a host whose MAC address is not the supplicant MAC address.

Security Tab - Storm Control

Port. Displays the port number for which storm control is enabled.

Broadcast Control. Indicates whether broadcast packet types are forwarded on the specific interface.

Mode. Specifies the Broadcast mode currently enabled on the device. The possible field values are:

•Unknown Unicast, Multicast & Broadcast. Counts Unicast, Multicast, and Broadcast traffic.

•Multicast & Broadcast. Counts Broadcast and Multicast traffic together.

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.
