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

Add classes to a selected policy and set the Action, Meter, Rate, Burst and Exceed values using the drop-down menus and fields provided then click Add.

QoS Tab - Diffserv Port Binding

This function binds a policy map to the ingress queue of a particular interface. You must first define a class map, set an ACL mask to match the criteria defined in the class map, then define a policy map, and finally bind the service policy to the required interface. You can only bind one policy map to an interface. The current firmware does not allow you to bind a policy map to an egress queue.

Select Policy Map for a port from the drop-down menu.

Click Save Settings to save the changes.

QoS Tab - Bandwidth

This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic transmitted or received on an interface. Rate limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic coming out of the Switch. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.

Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or LAGs. When an interface is configured with this feature, the traffic rate will be monitored by the hardware to verify conformity. Non-conforming traffic is dropped, conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.

Port. Displays the port or LAG number.

Status. Enables the rate limit (input or output) for the port or LAG. (Default: Disabled)

Rate Limit (Kbits/sec). Sets the rate limit level for the port or LAG. For Fast Ethernet ports the default is 100000Kbits/sec (Range: 64-100000). For Gigabit Ethernet ports the default is 1000000Kbits/sec (Range: 64- 1000000).

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

Set the Input Rate Limit Status or Output Rate Limit Status, then set the rate limit for individual interfaces or LAGs, then click Save Settings.

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.
