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

Acceptable Frame Type. Packet type accepted on the port. Possible values are:

Admit Tag Only. Indicates that only tagged packets are accepted on the port.

Admit All. Indicates that both tagged and untagged packets are accepted on the port.

PVID. Assigns a VLAN ID to untagged packets. The possible values are 2 to 4094. VLAN 4095 is defined as per standard and industry practice as the discard VLAN. Packets classified to the Discard VLAN are dropped.

Ingress Filtering. Enables or disables Ingress filtering on the port. Ingress filtering discards packets which do not include an ingress port.

LAG. Indicates the LAG to which the VLAN is defined.

VLAN Management Tab - Ports to VLAN

Use the Port to VLAN screen to configure port members for the selected VLAN index. Assign ports as tagged if they are connected to 802.1Q VLAN compliant devices, or untagged they are not connected to any VLAN-aware devices.

Select VLAN. Select the VLAN number. from the drop-down menu.

Switch Port Mode

Indicates VLAN membership mode for an interface. (Default: Access

Access. Indicates the port belongs to a single untagged VLAN. When a port is in Access mode, the packet types which are accepted on the port cannot be designated. Ingress filtering cannot be enabled/disabled on an access port.

Trunk. Indicates the port belongs to VLANs in which all ports are tagged, except for one port that can be untagged.

General. Indicates the port belongs to VLANs, and each VLAN is user-defined as tagged or untagged (full 802.1Q mode).

Membership

Select VLAN membership for each interface by marking the appropriate radio button for a port or LAG:

Excluded. Excludes the interface from the VLAN. However, the interface can be added to the VLAN through GVRP.

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.
