NOTE: The Username & Password Settings screen can also be used to set passwords for other users.

IP Configuration

The IP Configuration screen displays these choices: the Switch’s IP Address Settings, HTTP/HTTPS, SNMP, and Network Diagnostics.

IP Address Configuration

The Switch’s IP information is displayed here.

IP Address. The IP Address of the Switch is displayed. (The default IP address is 192.168.1.254.) Verify that the address you enter is correct and does not conflict with another device on the network.

Subnet Mask. The subnet mask of the Switch is displayed.

Default Gateway. The IP address of your network’s default gateway is displayed.

Management VLAN. The VLAN ID number is displayed. Set the ID number of the Management VLAN. This is the only VLAN through which you can gain management access to the Switch. By default, all ports on the Switch are members of VLAN 1, so a management station can be connected to any port on the Switch. If other VLANs are configured and you change the Management VLAN, you may lose management access to the Switch. In this case, you should reconnect the management station to a port that is a member of the Management VLAN.

IP Mode. Choose to have either a user-defined IP address or to have it assigned by DHCP or BOOTP.

Select Edit to make changes. When your changes are complete, press the Esc key to return to the Action menu, and select Save to save your changes.

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.
