Class Map

A class map is used for matching packets to a specified class. The class map uses the Access Control List filtering engine, so you must also set an ACL to enable filtering for the criteria specified in the class map.

The class map is used with a policy map to create a service policy for a specific interface that defines packet classification, service tagging, and bandwidth policing. Note that one or more class maps can be assigned to a policy map.

Class Name. Name of the class map. (Range: 1-32 characters)

Type. Only one match command is permitted per class map, so the match-any field refers to the criteria specified by the lone match command.

Description. A brief description of a class map. (Range: 1-256 characters)

Add. Creates a new class map using the entered class name and description.

Edit Class Element. Modifies the class map criteria used to classify ingress traffic.

Remove. Removes the selected class from the list.

Select the entry from the table that you wish to change, then click Edit Class Element. Add rules to a selected class using the ACL list drop-down menu or the IP DSCP, IP Precedence and VLAN text fields provided, then click Add.

Class Rule. Edits the rules for the class by specifying the type of traffic based on an access list, a DSCP or IP Precedence value, or a VLAN.

ACL. Name of an access control list. Any type of ACL can be specified, including standard or extended IP ACLs and MAC ACLs. (Range: 1-16 characters)

IP DSCP. A DSCP value. (Range: 0-63)

IP Precedence. An IP Precedence value. (Range: 0-7)

VLAN. A VLAN value. (Range: 1-4094)

Add. Adds the specified criteria to the class. Only one entry is permitted per class.

Remove. Deletes the selected criteria from the class.

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.
