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

To alert system administrators of problems, the Switch can use SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to send email messages when triggered by logging events of a specified level. The messages are sent to specified SMTP servers on the network and can be retrieved using POP or IMAP clients.

Admin Status. Enables/disables the SMTP function. (Default: Enabled)

Severity. Sets the Syslog severity threshold level used to trigger alert messages. All events at this level or higher are sent to the configured email recipients. For example, using Level 7 will report all events from level 7 to level 0. (Default: Level 7)

SMTP (1-3). Specifies a list of up to three recipient SMTP server IP addresses. The Switch attempts to connect to the other listed servers if the first fails.

Source Email Address. Sets the email address used for the “From” field in alert messages. You may use a symbolic email address that identifies the Switch, or the address of an administrator responsible for the Switch.

Destination Email Address (1-5). Specifies the email recipients of alert messages. You can specify up to five recipients.

Enable Admin Status, select the minimum severity level, and specify a source email address. Add at least one IP address to the SMTP server list and specify up to five email addresses to receive the alert messages. Click Save Settings.

Admin Tab - Port Mirroring

You can mirror traffic from any source port to a target port for real-time analysis. You can then attach a logic analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and study the traffic crossing the source port in a completely unobtrusive manner.

The target port speed should match or exceed source port speed, otherwise traffic may be dropped from the monitor port. The Switch supports only one mirror session. Set the following attributes for port mirroring using the Port Mirroring screen.

Source Port. Defines the port to which traffic is mirrored.

Type. Indicates the port mode configuration for port mirroring. The possible field values are:

Receive. Defines the port mirroring on receiving ports. This is the default value.

Transmit. Defines the port mirroring on transmitting ports.

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.
