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

Dest. IP Address. Matches the destination port IP address to which packets are addressed to the ACE.

Wildcard Mask. Defines the destination IP address wildcard mask.

Match DSCP. Matches the packet DSCP value to the ACE. Either the DSCP value or the IP Precedence value is used to match packets to ACLs. The possible field range is 0-63.

Match IP Precedence. Matches the packet IP Precedence value to the ACE. Either the DSCP value or the IP Precedence value is used to match packets to ACLs. The possible field range is 0-7.

The Add to List button adds the configured IP Based ACLs to the IP Based ACL Table at the bottom of the screen.

ACL Tab - MAC Based ACL

The MAC Based ACL screen allows a MAC based ACL to be defined. ACEs can be added only if the ACL is not bound to an interface.

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 the ACL Name radio button and select an ACL from the dropdown menu.

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

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

Action. Indicates the ACL forwarding action. Possible field values are:

Permit. Forwards packets which meet the ACL criteria.

Deny. Drops packets which meet the ACL criteria.

Shutdown. Drops packet that meet the ACL criteria, and disables the port to which the packet was addressed.

Source MAC Address. Matches the source MAC address to which packets are addressed to the ACE.

Wildcard Mask. Defines the source IP address wildcard mask. Wildcard masks specify which bits are used and which bits are ignored. A wild card mask of 255.255.255.255 indicates that no bit is important. A wildcard of

0.0.0.0indicates that all the bits are important. For example, if the source IP address 149.36.184.198 and the wildcard mask is 255.36.184.00, the first eight bits of the IP address are ignored, while the last eight bits are used.

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.
