Product Description

This 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. It features WebView monitoring and configuration via your web browser, making it easy to manage the 64 VLANs and up to 8 trunking groups. Or if you prefer, you can use the integrated console port to configure the switch. The non-blocking, wire-speed, full-duplex switching forwards packets as fast as your network can deliver them. Also included are Address Learning and Aging to prevent data transfer errors and Data Flow Control to help prevent packet collisions. Four Quality of Service egress queues per port let you prioritize traffic via 802.1p. The switch provides broadcast storm suppression, has hardware MAC address learning, and supports packet filtering and port security. All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don't 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. No matter how intensive your network demands, the Linksys 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with WebView has speed, flexibility, and reliability that you can count on.

Customer Reviews:

not great, but not horrible.......2007-06-06

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.

Browser compatibility is an issue for me too.......2007-03-07

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.

Doesn't work with Firefox -- or ANY mac browser!.......2006-11-22

The fan is surprisingly loud, even for a rack-mounted device intended for a machine room.

However, the deal breaker for me (I'm returning the unit I bought) is that the web management interface does not work with Firefox. In fact, it works ONLY with IE on a PC.

Given that many other Linksys products work with Firefox, I was pretty surprised.

Linksys needs to have a talk with the clue fairy and cut some new firmware.
