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

CoS to Queue

Assign priorities to the traffic classes (output queues) for the selected interface.

Class of Service. CoS value. (Range: 0-7, where 7 is the highest priority queue)

Queue (0-3). The output priority queue. (Range: 0-3, where 3 is the highest CoS priority queue)

Port to CoS

Modify the default priority for any interface using the text field provided.

Default CoS (0-7). The priority that is assigned to untagged frames received on the interface. (Range: 0-7, where 7 is the highest priority)

LAG. Indicates if ports are members of a LAG. To configure the default priority for LAGs, go to the table entry for the LAG number, which is listed after port g24 at the end of the table.

Default settings can be restored using the Restore Defaults button.

Click Save Settings to save the changes.

QoS Tab - Queue Settings

The Queue Setting screen contains fields for defining the QoS queue forwarding types.

Queue. Displays the queue for which the queue settings are displayed. The possible field range is 1 - 4. Strict Priority. Indicates that traffic scheduling for the selected queue is based strictly on the queue priority. WRR. Indicates that traffic scheduling for the selected queue is based strictly on the WRR.

WRR Weight. Displays the WRR weights to queues.

%of WRR Bandwidth. Displays the amount of bandwidth assigned to the queue. These values are fixed and are not user defined.

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.
