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 realtime 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.

Introduction

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.

Installation

Rack-Mount Placement

When rack-mounting the Switch, please observe the following guidelines:

•• Elevated Operating Ambient  If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

•• Reduced Air Flow  Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

•• Mechanical Loading  Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

•• Circuit Overloading  Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

•• Reliable Earthing  Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

Print this page at 100% size, cut along the dotted line and place on the wall to drill precise spacing.

Wall-Mount Placement

When mounting the Switch on the wall, the Switch should be mounted horizontally. The front panel should face either up or down. The unit should not be positioned vertically when mounted. You will need two suitable screws to mount the Switch. Use the template above to plan your installation.

Proper Wall-Mount Orientation (Horizontal)

NOTE: Linksys is not responsible for damages incurred by insecure wall-mounting hardware.

1.Determine where you want to mount the Switch. Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry and

sturdy and make sure the location is within reach of the power outlet.

2.Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are 3.7 inches (94 mm) apart. You can print the template from this page.

3.Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 3 mm (0.12 in) of its head exposed.

4.Maneuver the Switch so the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.

5.Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Switch down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.

Incorrect Wall-Mount Orientation (Vertical)

Congratulations! The wall-mount installation of the Switch is complete.
