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

•Auto – Requires a dot1x-aware client to be authorized by the authentication server. Clients that are not dot1x- aware will be denied access.

•Force-Authorized – Forces the port to grant access to all clients, either dot1x-aware or otherwise. (This is the default setting.)

•Force-Unauthorized – Forces the port to deny access to all clients, either dot1x-aware or otherwise. Authorized. Indicates the current status of the port:

•Yes – A connected client is authorized.

•No – No connected clients are authorized.

•Blank – Displays nothing when there is no connection on a port.

Supplicant. Indicates the MAC address of a connected client.

Modify the parameters required using the drop-down menus and fields provided for each port, then click Detail to configure the 802.1X settings for that port.

The 802.1x Port Settings screen allows configuration of the following parameters:

Reauthentication. To reauthenticate a client, select Enabled.

Maximum Request. Sets the maximum number of times the switch port will retransmit an EAP request packet to the client before it times out the authentication session. (Range: 1-10; Default 2)

Quiet Period. Sets the time that a switch port waits after the Max Request Count has been exceeded before attempting to acquire a new client. (Range: 1-65535 seconds; Default: 60 seconds)

Reauthentication Period. Sets the time period after which a connected client must be re-authenticated. (Range: 1-65535 seconds; Default: 3600 seconds)

Transmit Period. Sets the time period during an authentication session that the Switch waits before re- transmitting an EAP packet. (Range: 1-65535; Default: 30 seconds)

Click Save Settings to apply the changes.

Enable 802.1x. Select this to enable 802.1x authentication.

Port. Indicates the port name.

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.
