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

Packet. Displays the amount of packets measured for the particular 802.1x statistic.

ACL Tab - IP Based ACL

The IP Based ACL (Access Control List) screen contains information for defining IP Based ACLs. Access Control Lists (ACL) provide packet filtering for IP frames (based on address, protocol, Layer 4 protocol port number or TCP control code) or any frames (based on MAC address or Ethernet type). To filter incoming packets, first create an access list, add the required rules, specify a mask to modify the precedence in which the rules are checked, and then bind the list to a specific port.

Target. Select the New ACL Name radio button and enter an ACL name in the text field provided (with up to 16 characters). Or to add rules to an existing ACL, select ACL Name and select an ACL from the dropdown menu.

ACL Name. Displays the user-defined IP based ACLs.

New ACL Name. Define a new user-defined IP based ACL, the name cannot include spaces.

Action. Indicates the action assigned to the packet matching the ACL. Packets are forwarded or dropped. In addition, the port can be shut down, a trap can be sent to the network administrator, or a packet assigned rate limiting restrictions for forwarding. The options are as follows:

Permit. Forwards packets which meet the ACL criteria.

Deny. Drops packets which meet the ACL criteria.

Shutdown. Drops packet that meets the ACL criteria, and disables the port to which the packet was addressed. Ports are reactivated from the Port Management screen.

Protocol. Creates an ACE (Access Control Event) based on a specific protocol.

Select from List. Selects from a protocols list on which ACE can be based. The possible field values are:

Any. Matches the protocol to any protocol.

EIGRP. Indicates that the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is used to classify network flows.

ICMP. Indicates that the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used to classify network flows.

IGMP. Indicates that the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used to classify network flows.

TCP. Indicates that the Transmission Control Protocol is used to classify network flows.

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.
