WebView Switches

IP Address Configuration

The Switch’s IP information is displayed here.

IP Address. The IP Address of the Switch is displayed. (The default IP address is 192.168.1.254.) Verify that the address you enter is correct and does not conflict with another device on the network.

Subnet Mask. The subnet mask of the Switch is displayed.

Default Gateway. The IP address of your network’s default gateway is displayed.

Management VLAN. The VLAN ID number is displayed.

DHCP client. The status of the DHCP client is displayed. If you want the Switch to be a DHCP client, then select ENABLE. If you want to assign an static IP address to the Switch, then enter the IP settings and select DISABLE.

Select Edit to make changes. When your changes are complete, press the Esc key to return to the Action menu, and select Save to save your changes.

HTTP

The HTTP screen displays the status and port number of the HTTP Server.

For the 24-Port Switch, there is also an HTTP Authentication setting. You can set the authentication method for up to four users of the Switch’s Web-based Utility. Select LOCAL if you want access protected by a username and password. Select RADIUS if you want to use authentication via a RADIUS server. Select TACACS if you want access protected by the TACACS authentication protocol, which uses a username and password. Select DENY if you want to block access (for example, if you want to allow fewer than four users).

Select Edit to make changes. When your changes are complete, press the Esc key to return to the Action menu, and select Save to save your changes.

HTTPS Configuration

Use the HTTPS Configuration screen to configure HTTPS settings. You can enable or disable the HTTPS server and configure the port on which the session is enabled.

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.
