Product Overview
The Cisco SRW2024P 24-Port Gigabit Switch (Figure 1) allows you to expand your network securely. 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 minimize and contain 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 SRW2024P 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, and Rapid STP (RSTP) 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 point 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 IEEE802.3af MIB for PoE, IEEE 802.1d STP, IEEE 802.1w RSTP, Fast Linkover, and cable diagnostics.
Features
Twenty-four 10/100/1000 switched RJ-45 ports deliver up to 2 Gbps of throughput per port
Two shared 10/100/1000 mini Gigabit Interface Converter (mini-GBIC) ports
Switching capacity delivers wire-speed performance at 48 Gbps nonblocking capacity
WebView monitoring allows administrators to view the current status and configuration using their favorite web browser
PoE on twenty-four 10/100/1000 ports supplies up to 7.5W per port, or on twelve 10/100/1000 ports supplies up to the IEEE 802.3af maximum of 15.4W per port
Automatic medium dependent interface (MDI) and MDI crossover (MDI-X) cable detection
Port-based and 802.1Q-based VLANs support up to 256 VLANs-4096 range
Port trunking for up to 8 groups allows you to increase your bandwidth for each uplink or server connection
Port configuration settings for link, speed, auto MDI/MDIX, flow control, and more
Fully rack mountable using the included rack-mounting hardware
MAC address table supports up to 8000 MAC address entries
Optimal platform to support real-time applications such as voice and video by providing features like Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping; multiple queues (4) with appropriate scheduling techniques; prioritization of traffic based on port, 802.1p, IP ToS/precedence/DSCP, TCP/User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port, and line rate forwarding mechanisms
Enhanced QoS functions including rate limiting for ingress/egress and per flow at 64 kbps granularity
Secure control via SSH for Telnet interface and SSL for HTTP interface
User/network security via 802.1X (with RADIUS authentication)
Advanced security ACL can be a restricted-access network by denying or rate-limiting based on L1-L4 information- for example, MAC address, Ethernet type, VLAN ID, IP address, protocol ID, or TCP/UDP port
Containment of storms - broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast
Expandability and availability increased across multiple switches using link aggregation
Port trunking for up to eight groups with up to eight ports per group allows you to increase your bandwidth for each uplink or server connection
SNMP and RMON management expand your visibility options
