24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview and PoE

Placement Options

Before connecting cables to the Switch, first you will physically install the Switch. Either set the Switch on its four rubber feet for desktop placement or mount the Switch in a standard-sized, 19-inch wide, 1U high rack for rack- mount placement.

Desktop Placement

1.Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch.

2.Place the Switch on a desktop near an AC power source.

3.Keep enough ventilation space for the Switch and check the environmental restrictions mentioned in the specifications.

4.Proceed to the section, “Connecting the Switch.”

Rack-Mount Placement

To mount the Switch in any standard-sized, 19-inch wide, 1U high rack, follow these instructions:

1.Place the Switch on a hard flat surface with the front panel facing you.

2.Attach a rack–mount bracket to one side of the Switch with the supplied screws. Then attach the other bracket to the other side.

3.Make sure the brackets are properly attached to the Switch.

4.Use the appropriate screws (not included) to securely attach the brackets to your rack.

5.Proceed to the section, “Connecting the Switch.”

Connecting the Switch

To connect network devices to the Switch, follow these instructions:

1. Make sure all the devices you will connect to the Switch are powered off.

Chapter 3: Connecting the Switch

IMPORTANT: Make sure you use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Using the wrong screws could damage the Switch and would invalidate your warranty.

SRW2024P specifications

The Linksys SRW2024P is a robust and versatile managed switch designed to meet the networking needs of small to medium-sized businesses. This switch features 24 Ethernet ports, making it suitable for connecting multiple devices while delivering exceptional performance and reliability. One of the standout features of the SRW2024P is its Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, allowing users to power devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly from the switch, eliminating the need for additional power sources and simplifying installations.

The SRW2024P supports a range of advanced technologies, including VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), which enable network segmentation and improved security by isolating different network segments. This segmentation can help enhance performance and control broadcast domains effectively. Additionally, the switch supports Quality of Service (QoS), allowing users to prioritize network traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth for optimal performance. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments with high-definition video streaming or VoIP communications.

Another critical aspect of the Linksys SRW2024P is its support for robust network security protocols. With features like 802.1X port-based authentication, network administrators can enforce strict access control policies, ensuring that only authorized devices can connect to the network. The switch also provides basic security features such as MAC address filtering and access control lists (ACLs), enhancing the overall security of the network.

The easy-to-use web-based management interface makes it simple for administrators to configure and monitor the switch. It provides real-time information about network performance, port status, and traffic statistics, allowing for effective troubleshooting and management. The SRW2024P also includes the capability for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), enabling integration with third-party network management solutions for more advanced monitoring and control.

In terms of physical characteristics, the Linksys SRW2024P is designed for reliable performance in various environments, with a compact rack-mountable chassis. This design allows for easy installation in standard 19-inch racks, making it a practical choice for businesses looking to optimize their network infrastructure.

In summary, the Linksys SRW2024P managed switch combines advanced networking features, ease of management, and PoE capabilities, making it an ideal choice for growing businesses looking to enhance their connectivity and network performance. With its reliable security measures, VLAN support, and QoS capabilities, the SRW2024P provides a solid foundation for a robust and scalable network.
