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

•100half - Supports 100 Mbps half-duplex operation

•100full - Supports 100 Mbps full-duplex operation

•1000half - Supports 1000 Mbps half-duplex operation

•1000full - Supports 1000 Mbps full-duplex operation

•Sym (Gigabit only) - Check this item to transmit and receive pause frames, or clear it to auto-negotiate the sender and receiver for asymmetric pause frames. (The current switch chip only supports symmetric pause frames.)

Flow Control. Enables flow control. Flow control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end stations or segments connected directly to the Switch when its buffers fill. When enabled, back pressure is used for half- duplex operation and IEEE 802.3x for full-duplex operation. (Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise, back pressure jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub.

(Default: Autonegotiation enabled; Advertised capabilities for 100Base-TX – 10half, 10full, 100half, 100full; 1000Base-T – 10half, 10full, 100half, 100full, 1000full; 1000Base-SX/LX/LH – 1000full)

Port Broadcast Control

You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold for broadcast traffic for all ports. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then be dropped.

Status. To enable broadcast control on a specified port, select Enabled for that port.

Threshold. Set the threshold using the Threshold field. You may enter 64-1000000 K/bits/sec.

After you modify the required port settings, click Apply.

Click the Save Settings button to save your changes.

LAG. This indicates if the port is part of a LAG.

Description. Description for this LAG.

Administrative Status. The admin status of the LAG. Up indicates that the LAG is available. Down indicates that administrator has taken the port offline. When modifying the option, be sure to click the Save Settings option.

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.
