Product Overview
Growing businesses require cost-effective networking solutions that can scale to meet ever-
®
changing business needs. The Cisco SRW248G4 48-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Switch (Figure
1) brings increased intelligence and security to the network infrastructure. The forty-eight 10/100
Mbps ports enable you to consolidate your network from several smaller switches or hubs to a
single managed switch. The optional Gigabit optical interfaces allow you to expand the network as
your business grows.

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 SRW248G4 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 SRW248G4, voice data can be prioritized, helping ensure clear
and reliable voice communications.

Enabling the advanced features of the Cisco SRW248G4 further secures the integrity of your
network. The WebView interface provides an intuitive, highly secure management interface,
helping you to better utilize the comprehensive feature set of the switch for a better-optimized,
more secure network.

Features
● Forty-eight 10/100 switched RJ-45 ports with automatic medium dependent interface
(MDI) and MDI crossover (MDI-X) cable detection

● Simplified QoS management enabled by advanced queuing techniques using 802.1p,
Differentiated Services (DiffServ), or type of service (ToS) traffic prioritization
specifications
● Configuration and monitoring from a standard web browser with WebView
● Highly secure remote management of the switch via Secure Shell (SSH) and SSL
secure channel network protocols
● 802.1Q-based VLANs enable segmentation of networks for improved performance and
security

autonomous networks
● Automatic configuration of VLANs across multiple switches through Generic VLAN
Registration Protocol (GVRP) and Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP)
● Automatic port configuration through auto MDI/MDI-X
● 802.1ab (Link Layer Discovery Protocol [LLDP]) and Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
support
● User/network port-level security via 802.1X authentication and MAC-based filtering
● Increased bandwidth (up to 8x) and added link redundancy with Link Aggregation
Control Protocol (LACP)
● Enhanced rate-limiting capabilities provide control, including back pressure to control
the rate at which data can flow into and out of a port
● Multicasting, broadcasting, and flooding control
● Port mirroring for noninvasive monitoring of switch traffic
● Mini jumbo frame support
● Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) versions 1, 2c, and 3
