Product Description

Product Description

The Linksys SRW2008 WebView fully managed switch brings gigabit speeds to your users, while adding a whole new level of intelligence and security to network. The eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports enable you take advantage of the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces shipping on the current generation of servers, workstations and storage devices, in addition to supporting existing 10/100 Mbps clients. The optional mini-GBIC ports allow you to expand network as your business grows. For security, the SRW2008 incorporates IEEE 802.1 VLANs, IEEE 802.1X port authentication and MAC-based Filtering. Along with that, the switch has Access Control Lists (ACL), which provide more granular security settings, but also improved QoS control through IEEE 802.1p, Diffserv or ToS prioritization schemes. The enhanced QoS capability, combined with the SRW2008s advanced traffic management features ensures clear and reliable voice and video communications. Linksys WebView provides an intuitive, secure management interface enabling you to better utilize the comprehensive feature-set of the SRW2008, resulting in a better optimized, more secure network.

1.0 out of 5 stars Prone to freeze up and managed with windows ie only, February 2, 2009

By	Anonymouse - See all my reviews

I bought this switch about 2 years ago and it has been froze up and rma'd twice.

The so-called webview management ony works on windows with IE, other browsers either fail completely or give partial unworking pages.

The command line options are very limited.

There is also some kind of issue(s) with connecting fast ethernet devices that cause connections to slow or stall. My network consists of this switch, linksys wrt-54 (now with dd-wrt), and some 5 port 10/100 linksys switch.

When the connection slows or stops, I have to reboot each of the devices just to get them to connect again.

Recommend avoid this product at all costs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for the price, September 23, 2009

By	Erik R. Carlseen (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I've had two of these for about two years now (one being used in a hot wiring closet), and they seem to work fine.

Yes, there is some serious stupidity with the management - the serial / CLI functions do very little. The web interface was designed by idiots (slow, cumbersome, and only works with IE). That being said, once it's configured it's not a bad piece of equipment.
