Linksys Switches 24 Port

This new Linksys rackmount switch delivers non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit network clients, plus multiple options for connecting to your network backbone. Twenty-four 10/100/1000 ports wire up your workstations, while the two mini GBIC ports allow future expansion to alternate transmission media like optical fiber for your backbone. All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you dont have to worry about the cable type, and polarity detection will even automatically correct wiring errors. Each port independently and automatically negotiates for best speed and whether to run in half- or full-duplex mode. Head-of-line blocking prevention keeps your high-speed clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic and fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network.

Cementing Your Network's Foundation. A strong business network needs a solid foundation. Formerly part of the Linksys Business Series, the Cisco SRW2024 24-Port Gigabit Switch provides that essential core. It supports gigabit networking, offering exceptional performance over 24 separate connections. Because security is a priority on the SRW2024, no attached device receives information before it authenticates with the switch, and access levels can be customized in multiple ways. The SRW2024 prioritizes dataflow with a variety of traffic-shaping mechanisms to help ensure high performance and clarity for heavy-traffic communications like video teleconferencing. The switch's robust management functions are easy to access with a variety of clients, and its internal monitoring software keeps tabs on your network's every operation.

Keeler Like the other reviewer, I'm disgusted that this product requires Internet Explorer 6 (version 7 doesn't either, you're out of luck if you've upgraded). This problem has been there for ages and Linksys have done nothing to correct it. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. not great, but not horrible By pcrequest I had to update firmware to get SNMP to function. My current versions: Hardware Version 00.00.03 Software Version 1.0.0.86 Firefox 2.0.0.4 and IE 7 work fine for me on Windows. No problems with uptime or reliability. Seems fast. Documentation spotty and it is hard to get advanced features to work. Support by email equally spotty. If mission critical, shop Procurve. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. It's a Cisco product in a small box By T. Souslin I ordered this switch when we were overhauling our office infrastructure. It works great, allowed to identify some severe port loads and concurrency issues that caused problems before. Port mirroring for monitoring works great, the limit of 4 ports is still there, but it is expected on a switch of this class. This switch does not allow for application selection for traffic priority, as much simpler models do, but it gives an experienced user much more flexibility in setting up permissions and QoS. The only drawback, and the sole reason i gave it 4 stars, was that in an all-Mac environment we had to bring in a Windows machine to administer this switch, since it can only be managed using Internet Explorer. Firefox or Opera on windows box did not work either. So, all in all it's a great product, but would be better if it had multi-browser support for configuration purposes. See all 8 customer reviews...
