Product Overview
Growing businesses require cost-effective networking solutions that can scale with ever-changing business needs. The Cisco SRW208 8-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch with WebView (Figure 1) brings a whole new level of intelligence and security to the network infrastructure. The combination of its intelligence and small size make it ideal for a conference room or training room where security and uptime are important.
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 SRW208 is able to 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 SRW208, voice data can be prioritized, ensuring clear and reliable voice communications.
Enabling the advanced features of the Cisco SRW208 further secures the integrity of your network. The WebView interface provides an intuitive, secure management interface, enabling you to better utilize the comprehensive feature set of the switch, for a better-optimized, more secure network.
