Advanced Configuration

PVE  When a port is a Private VLAN Edge (PVE) port, it bypasses the Forwarding Database and forwards all unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic to an uplink.

NOTE: All ports in the same PVE group should join the same VLAN group.

LAG  (Read-only) The LAG to which this port belongs, if the port is a LAG member.

Port Management > Link Aggregation

LAG  The LAG number (1-8).

Description  The user-defined description for the LAG.

Admin Status  The administrative status of the LAG. Up indicates that the LAG is available. Down indicates that administrator has taken the port offline. When modifying the option, click Save Settings.

Type  Indicates if a LAG has been manually configured (static) or dynamically set through LACP.

Link Status  Displays the status of the link. Speed  Displays the port speed.

Duplex  Displays the duplex mode.

Flow Control  Displays the flow control status of the LAG. It is active when the port uses Full Duplex Mode.

LAG Mode  Displays the LAG status: On, Off, or Not Present.

LAG Configuration

LAG  The LAG number (1-8). To display or edit another LAG, select the number from the drop-down menu.

Description  The user-defined LAG description of up to 64 characters. This field is blank by default.

LACP  Select the checkbox to enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).

LAG Type  (Read-only) The LAG type.

Administrative Status  The LAG’s administrative status. Select either Up or Down to enable or disable the LAG.

Current Status  (Read-only) The LAG’s status, either Up or Down.

Reactivate Suspended LAG  If the LAG has been suspended, select this checkbox to reactivate the LAG.

Operational Status  (Read-only) Displays whether the LAG is operational or non-operational.

Admin Auto Negotiation  Enables or disables Auto Negotiation on the LAG. Auto-negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that enables a LAG to advertise its transmission rate, duplex mode and flow control (the flow control default is disabled) abilities to its partner.

Current Auto Negotiation  The current Auto Negotiation setting.

Admin Speed  The configured speed at which the LAG is operating.

Current LAG Speed  (Read-only) The current speed at which the LAG is operating.

Admin Flow Control  Enables or disables flow control or enables the auto negotiation of flow control on the LAG.

Current Flow Control  (Read-only) The current flow control setting.

PVE  Displays the PVE group to which the LAG is configured.

The Linksys SRW2048 is a robust Layer 2 managed switch that caters to the networking needs of small to medium-sized businesses. Designed with performance and reliability in mind, it provides features that ensure optimal network efficiency and security.

One of the standout features of the SRW2048 is its 48 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling high-speed data transfer and seamless connectivity for various devices within the network. This makes it ideal for environments with heavy data traffic, ensuring minimal latency and high performance.

The SRW2048 also supports advanced Layer 2 management features, including VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) support, which allows users to segment the network into smaller, manageable sections. This is crucial for improving security and performance, as it reduces unnecessary traffic and potential broadcast storms. With a VLAN configuration, businesses can group users and devices based on function or department, ensuring efficient communication within teams.

In addition to VLAN capabilities, the Linksys SRW2048 incorporates Quality of Service (QoS) features. This technology prioritizes critical network traffic, such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video conferencing, ensuring that these applications receive the bandwidth they require for optimal performance. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on real-time communication tools.

The switch also enhances security through features such as IEEE 802.1X port security, which ensures that only authorized users can access the network. The SRW2048 supports access control lists (ACLs), allowing administrators to set specific permissions for users and devices, further tightening security.

Linksys has also equipped the SRW2048 with a user-friendly web-based management interface, simplifying the process of configuring and monitoring network performance. This accessible interface allows IT personnel to quickly identify issues, manage traffic, and configure settings without extensive training.

Another notable characteristic of the Linksys SRW2048 is its robust build quality and reliability. With a metal chassis and fanless design, it maintains a low acoustic footprint and ensures passive cooling, making it suitable for office environments.

Overall, the Linksys SRW2048 is a feature-rich managed switch that combines advanced networking technologies, efficient performance, and security features to meet the diverse needs of modern businesses. Its scalability, manageability, and robust construction make it a valuable addition to any network infrastructure.
