Cost-Effective Gigabit switching
with entry-level management for
small business
New Linksys Business Series Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switches deliver cost-effective
switching solutions that are ideal for small businesses or workgroups within larger
organizations. These high-speed switches offer entry-level management without the
cost and complexity of a full Layer 2 managed switch.
The SLM2008 switch is ideal for conference rooms, labs, shipping/receiving
departments or in marketing, design or audio/visual workgroups. The eight
10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) ports enable companies to link to other Gigabit
devices on the network (servers, workstations and network storage) to quickly move
bandwidth-intensive files while still supporting 10/100 Mbps clients.
The SLM2008 supports the IEEE802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE) for
obtaining its power over a designated PD port or from an external AC power adapter. This
gives companies the option to install the switch in places where a power outlet may not be
present, such as in ceilings and in walls.
The SLM2008 is able to secure the network through IEEE 802.1Q VLANs and IEEE 802.1X port
authentication. For environments where IP multicast applications are used, the switch is
capable of limiting the traffic to only the ports that have requested that traffic with support
of IGMP Snooping. Additional QoS capabilities like IEEE 802.1p, DSCP, and 4 hardware queues
make it possible to maintain good quality for real-time applications like voice and video.
The SLM2008 offers an easy-to-use browser interface for the management and configuration
of the features, making it ideal for small businesses without an IT staff or that have minimal
technical expertise.
