Product Overview
Growing businesses require cost-effective networking solutions that can scale to meet ever-changing business needs. The Cisco® SRW208MP 8-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch brings increased intelligence and security to the network infrastructure. Together with its small size, these features make the switch ideal for a conference room or training room where security and uptime are important. It offers two ports for connecting Gigabit copper or optical interfaces to a core switch.
For wireless or voice over IP (VoIP) deployments, the Cisco SRW208MP supports the IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE). With automatic load sensing, the power control circuitry automatically detects PoE on an end device before providing power. Power feeding of Ethernet is limited to the fixed 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports. The switch can provide maximum output power per PoE port of up to 15.4W on all eight ports simultaneously. Each port has independent overload and short-circuit protection, with LED indicators for power status.
Network security is a top priority in any size business. Most business data networks, large and small, are unsecured. Unauthorized access to the network and mission-critical data is a constant concern. The Cisco SRW208MP helps secure the network through 802.1X port authentication and MAC-based filtering. The 802.1X standard requires clients to authenticate themselves before the port will pass data for them.
Businesses are recognizing the benefits of voice over IP (VoIP) and are quickly migrating their voice services to IP-based platforms, requiring their local area networks to support both voice and data applications. In unmanaged IP networks, bursty data sessions can disrupt voice packet delivery, causing poor voice quality. With the enhanced quality of service (QoS) and traffic-management features in the Cisco SRW208MP, voice data can be prioritized, helping ensure clear and reliable voice communications.
The advanced features of the Cisco SRW208MP can help you further secure the integrity of your network. WebView provides an intuitive, highly secure management interface, enabling you to better utilize the comprehensive feature set of the switch, for a better-optimized, more secure network.
