The Cisco SRW224G4P 24-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Switch (Figure 1) offers a highly secure
way to expand your network. Web-based configuration of the switch is secured using SSL. User
access is verified using 802.1X security with a RADIUS authentication mechanism and can also be
controlled using MAC-based filtering.
Extensive quality of service (QoS) features make the solution ideal for real-time applications such
as voice and video. The four priority queues, together with the weighted round-robin and strict
priority scheduling techniques, facilitate efficient coexistence of real-time traffic with data traffic,
allowing each to meet its 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 (type of service [ToS] or differentiated services code point [DSCP]). Intelligent broadcast
and multicast storm control minimizes and contains the effect of these types of traffic on regular
traffic. Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping limits bandwidth-intensive video
traffic to only the requestors without flooding all users. Incoming traffic can be policed and
outgoing traffic can be shaped, allowing you to control network access and traffic flow.
Other features of the Cisco SRW224G4P allow you to expand and grow your network of switches.
Link aggregation allows multiple high-bandwidth trunks between switches to be set up. This also
provides reliability, in that the system continues to operate if one of the links breaks. Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP), Fast STP, Rapid STP (RSTP), and Multiple STP (MSTP) allow you to build a
mesh of switches, increasing the availability of the system.
The rich features of the WebView management software include Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), Remote Monitoring (RMON), Telnet, and HTTP management options, allowing
you to flexibly integrate and manage these devices in your network.
Automatic load sensing in the power control circuitry automatically detects Power over Ethernet
(PoE) on the access points before providing power. Power feeding of Ethernet is limited for fixed
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports. The switch can provide maximum output power per PoE port up to
15.4W on 12 ports or 7.5W on 24 ports simultaneously. Each port has independent overload and
short-circuit protection, with LED indicators for power status. The switch also supports IEEE
802.3af MIB for PoE, IEEE 802.1d STP, IEEE 802.1w RSTP, Fast Linkover, and IEEE 802.1s
MSTP. Cable diagnostics can be performed using the switch’s WebView utility.
