Introduction

8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview

Chapter 1

Chapter 1:

Introduction

Welcome

This guide covers three product models.

SRW2008

•

8-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet Switch with

WebView. Includes 8 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and 2

shared MiniGBIC slots.

SRW2008MP

•

8-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet Switch

with WebView and Maximum POE (Power over

Ethernet) Includes 8 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and 2

shared MiniGBIC slots.

SRW2008P

•

8-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet Switch with

WebView and POE (Power over Ethernet) Includes 8

10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and 2 shared MiniGBIC slots.

For the purpose of this manual, whenever a feature applies

to all models, the model number will be referenced as

SRW2008x. If a specific model number is mentioned, then

the feature is specific to that model.

The Linksys WebView Managed switch allows you to

expand your network securely. Configuration of the Switch

is secured using SSL for web access. User control is secured

using 802.1x security using a RADIUS authentication

mechanism and can also be controlled using MAC-based

filtering.

Extensive QoS features makes the solution ideal for real-

time applications like Voice and Video. The 4 priority

queues together with the Weighted Round Robin and

Strict Priority scheduling techniques facilitate efficient

coexistence of real-time traffic with data traffic allowing

them each to meet their QoS needs. Individual users or

applications can be prioritized above others using various

Class of Service options - by port, layer 2 priority (802.1p),

and Layer 3 priority (TOS or DSCP). Intelligent Broadcast,

and Multicast storm control minimizes and contain the

effect of these types of traffic on regular traffic. IGMP

Snooping limits bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only

the requestors without flooding to all users. Incoming

traffic can be policed and outgoing traffic can be shaped

allowing you to control network access and traffic flow.

There are features that allow you to expand and grow your

network of switches. Link aggregation allows multiple

high-bandwidth trunks between switches to be setup.

This also provides a level of reliability in that the system

continues to operate if one of the links break. Spanning

Tree (STP), Fast Spanning Tree, and Rapid Spanning Tree

(RSTP) allow you to build a mesh of switches increasing

the availability of the system.

The rich management functionality of the WebView

switches

includes

SNMP,

RMON, Telnet,

and

HTTP

Management options, allowing you to flexibly integrate

and manage these devices in your network.

The SRW2008P and SRW2008MP support Automatic Load

Sensing - Power control circuitry automatically detects

Power over Ethernet on access point before providing

power. Power feeding of Ethernet limited for fixed

10/100 Base-T/TX ports. The SRW2008MP can provide

maximum output power per PoE port up to 15.4W on 8

ports simultaneously. while the SRW2008P can provide

maximum output power on 4 ports simultaneously or 8

ports at half power.

Product Overview

SRW2008 - Front Panel

The LEDs and ports are located on the front panel of the

Switch.

Front Panel

SYSTEM

(Green) The system LED lights up to

indicate that the Switch is powered on.

LINK/ACT

(Green) The LINK/ACT LED lights up

to indicate a functional network link through

the corresponding port (1 through 8) with an

attached device. It flashes to indicate that the

Switch is actively sending or receiving data over

that port.

Gigabit

(Orange)

The

Gigabit

LED

lights

up to indicate a Gigabit connection on the

corresponding port (1 through 8).

Ports

1-8

The Switch is equipped with 8 auto-

sensing, Ethernet network ports, which use

RJ-45 connectors. The Fast Ethernet ports

support network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps,

or 1000Mbps. They can operate in half and

full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology

enables each port to automatically detect the

speed of the device connected to it (10Mbps,

100Mbps, or 1000Mbps), and adjust its speed

and duplex accordingly.

Console

The Console port is where you can

connect a serial cable to a PC’s serial port for

configuration using your PC’s HyperTerminal

program.

Refer

to

Chapter

4:

Using

the

Console Interface for Configuration for more

information.

miniGBIC1/2

The mini-GBIC (gigabit interface

converter) port is a connection point for a

mini-GBIC expansion module, so the Switch

can be uplinked via fiber to another switch.

Each MiniGBIC port provides a link to a

high-speed network segment or individual

workstation at speeds of up to 1000Mbps.

Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1

mini-GBIC

modules

with

the

Switch.

The

MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling

with LC connectors, while the MGBT1 requires

a Category 5e Ethernet cable with an RJ-45

connector.

Typical Network Configuration

When you connect your network devices, make sure you

don’t exceed the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters

(328 feet).

Positioning the Switch

Before you choose a location for the Switch, observe the

following guidelines:

Make sure that the Switch is accessible and that the

•

cables can be connected easily.

Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise,

•

power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

Position the Switch away from water and moisture

•

sources.

To ensure adequate air flow around the Switch, be

•

sure to provide a minimum clearance of two inches

(50mm).

Do not stack free-standing Switches more than four

•

units high.

Placement Options

There are three ways to physically install the Switch,

either set the Switch on its four rubber feet for desktop

placement, mount the switch in a standard-sized, 19-inch

1U high rack for rack-mount placement, or horizontally on

the wall.
