Description

The Cisco SRW248G4P 48-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Switch offers a highly secure means of expanding your network. Web-based configuration of the switch is secured using SSL. User access is verified with 802.1X security using a RADIUS authentication mechanism and can also be controlled using MAC-based filtering.Extensive quality of service (QoS) features makes 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. Intelligent broadcast and multicast storm control minimizes and contains 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 SRW248G4P 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, Rapid STP (RSTP), and Multiple STP (MSTP) allow you to build a mesh of switches, increasing the availability of the system.Automatic load sensing in the power control circuitry automatically detects Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the access points before providing power. Power feeding of Ethernet is limited for the fixed 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports. Each port has independent overload and short-circuit protection, with LED indicators for power status.
