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 SRW208P and SRW208MP 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 SRW208MP can provide
maximum output power per PoE port up to 15.4W on 8
ports simultaneously. while the SRW208P can provide
maximum output power on 4 ports simultaneously or 8
ports at half power.
For the purpose of this manual, whenever a feature applies
to all models, the model number will be referenced as
SRW208x. 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.

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.

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.
WARNING: Make sure you use the screws
supplied with the mounting brackets. Using the
wrong screws could damage the Switch and
would invalidate your warranty.

To connect network devices to the Switch, follow these
instructions:
Make sure all the devices you will connect to the Switch 1.
are powered off.
For 10/100Mbps devices, connect a Category 5 Ethernet 2.
network cable to one of the numbered ports on the
Switch. For a 1000Mbps device, connect a Category 5e
Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports
on the Switch.
Connect the other end to a PC or other network 3.
device.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices.4.
If you are using the mini-GBIC port, then connect the 5.

configure the Switch, then connect the supplied serial
cable to the Switch’s Console port, and tighten the
captive retaining screws. Connect the other end to your
PC’s serial port. (This PC must be running the VT100
terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal.)
Connect the supplied power cord to the Switch’s power 7.
port, and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
WARNING: Make sure you use the power
cord that is supplied with the Switch. Use of a
different power cord could damage the Switch.
Power on the network devices connected to the 8.
