Advanced Configuration

SNMP > Notification Recipient

The Notification Recipient screen contains information for defining filters that determine whether traps are sent to specific users, and the trap type sent. SNMP notification filters provide the following services:

•• Identifying Management Trap Targets

•• Trap Filtering

•• Selecting Trap Generation Parameters

•• Providing Access Control Checks

SNMP > Notification Recipient

Recipient IP  Indicates the IP address to whom the traps are sent.

Notification Type  Defines the notification sent. The possible field values are:

•• Traps  Indicates traps are sent.

•• Informs  Indicates informs are sent.

SNMPv1,2  Enables SNMPv1,2 as the Notification Recipient. Either SNMPv1,2 or SNMPv3 can be enabled at any one time, but not both at the same time. If SNMPv1,2 is enabled, the Community String and Notification Version fields are enabled for configuration:

•• Community String  Identifies the community string of the trap manager.

•• Notification Version  Determines the trap type. The possible field values are:

•• SNMP V1  Indicates SNMP Version 1 traps are sent.

•• SNMP V2  Indicates SNMP Version 2 traps are sent.

SNMPv3  Enables SNMPv3 as the Notification Recipient. Either SNMPv1,2 or SNMPv3 can be enabled at any one time, but not both at the same time. If SNMPv3is enabled, the User Name and Security Level fields are enabled for configuration:

User Name  Defines the user to whom SNMP notifications are sent.

Security Level  Defines the means by which the packet is authenticated. The possible field values are:

•• No Authentication  The packet is neither authenticated nor encrypted.

•• Authentication  The packet is authenticated.

•• Privacy  Indicates the packet is both authenticated and encrypted.

UDPPort  DisplaystheUDPportusedtosendnotifications. The default is 162.

Filter Name  Indicates if the SNMP filter for which the SNMP Notification filter is defined.

Timeout  Indicates the amount of time (seconds) the device waits before resending informs. The default is 15 seconds.

Retries  Indicates the amount of times the device resends an inform request. The default is 3 seconds.

Use the Add to List button to add the Notification Recipient configuration to the relevant table at the bottom of the screen.

Admin > User Authentication

You can modify user passwords in the User Authentication screen.

Admin > User Authentication

Authentication Type  Defines the user authentication methods. Combinations of all the authentication methods can be selected. The possible field values are:

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.
