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

Untagged. Packets forwarded by the interface are untagged.

Tagged. Defines the interface as a tagged member of a VLAN. All packets forwarded by the interface are tagged. The packets contain VLAN information.

VLAN Management Tab - VLAN to Ports

The VLAN to Ports screen contains fields for configuring VLANs to a ports.

Port. Displays the interface number.

Mode. Indicates the port to VLAN mode. The possible field values are:

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

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.

Join VLAN. Defines the VLANs to which the interface is joined. Select the VLAN ID, then click Apply.

VLANs. Displays the PVID tag.

LAG. Indicates if the port is a member of a LAG. If it is a member of a LAG, it cannot be configured to a VLAN. The LAG to which it belongs can be configured to a VLAN.

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.
