8-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch with Webview

Chapter 1

Introduction

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 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.

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.

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.

Make sure the brackets are properly attached to the 3. Switch.

Use the appropriate screws (not included) to securely 4. attach the brackets to your rack.

Mounting in Rack

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).

To rack-mount the Switch in any standard 19-inch rack, follow the instructions described below.

Place the Switch on a hard flat surface with the front 1. panel facing you.

Attach a rack–mount bracket to one side of the Switch 2. with the supplied screws. Then attach the other bracket to the other side.
