From the Manufacturer --------------------- From the Manufacturer Cisco’s SR2024 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch is an ideal solution for converting your current infrastructure into a next-generation, high-speed network featuring full gigabit speeds. It can also serve as a powerful building block for creating a brand-new network from the ground up, as the switch’s 24 individual gigabit ports allow you to attach computers, servers and access points and provide the ample connectivity they need for bandwidth-heavy applications, multimedia, and file transfers. The switch uses LEDs to give you an instant update regarding the status of your connections. Two mini-GBIC ports allow you to connect this switch to others using fiber-optic links. High Performance The Cisco SR2024 provides up to Gigabit Ethernet speeds and delivers high speed connectivity to support bandwidth-intensive applications. You can connect to other devices with Gigabit interfaces including servers, workstations, and storage devices. In addition, the switch can support existing 10/100 Mbps clients - the hardware determines the appropriate speed for each device and user. With this switch you get immediate communications and file transfers, eliminating slow or sluggish network experiences and alleviating network bottlenecks. No Management Needed A true drop-and-go device, the switch works completely out of the box with no complicated configuration steps or settings required prior to installation. Whether you’re using the SR2024 as a satellite connector of your network or replacing the core of your infrastructure with true gigabit networking, the device automatically detects the cables you’re plugging into it—no need to root through the bin for specific crossover cables to interconnect your network devices. Cisco's SR2024 24-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch gives you the ability to transform your exiting network into one that's equipped with top-of-the-line gigabit speeds. Extended Capabilities The switch future-proofs your possibilities for network expansion through its inclusion of two mini Gigabit Interface Converter ports (mini-GBIC), which allow you to add fiber-optic connectivity for connecting to other network switches easily and cost-effectively. Reliable Performance Other features on the switch include independent port negotiation, which selects and optimizes a half-duplex or full-duplex connection to achieve the best speeds for each attached device. Address learning and aging, as well as built-in 802.3x flow control with head-of-line blocking prevention, floats your high-priority traffic above common network use to ensure uninterrupted service quality. An included MAC address learning engine reduces network clutter by directing traffic precisely where you want it to go instead of unnecessarily broadcasting data to all connected devices. The SR2024 is designed with industry-standard specifications in mind. As such, it works with nearly all networkable devices to deliver high-performance functionality for your high-bandwidth needs. The switch’s rack- form integrates smoothly into your existing server architecture. Flick the switch, connect your network devices, and you’ll be up-and-running with a brand-new, high-speed network within minutes. It’s that easy. Why Gigabit Connectivity? As you more add more applications and devices to your network, you need an easy to use, reliable switch that can alleviate bottlenecks and help prevent network downtime. Your employees need the ability to communicate with each other and with customers and to share printers and access business files. Dealing with a sluggish or unavailable network decreases productivity and slows down business. Let the Cisco SR2024 kick your network in to high gear.
