Cisco SRW2024 24-port Gigabit Switch - WebView

This is a great switch. However it will not be useful for as as we do not have a windows machine or server in the enterprize, so it is impossible for us to take advantage of web view. We are not willing to pay micorsoft for a license simpy to manage a switch, so even a VM will not do.No one at Cisco seems to care that their products cut out more than half the systems used to manage their networks.

Excellent product always working fine and gives you faster speed to each port, 100% satisfied you can buy it,Thanks

I had to update firmware to get SNMP to function. My current versions:Hardware Version 00.00.03Software Version 1.0.0.86Firefox 2.0.0.4 and IE 7 work fine for me on Windows.No problems with uptime or reliability. Seems fast.Documentation spotty and it is hard to get advanced features to work. Support by email equally spotty. If mission critical, shop Procurve.

I ordered this switch when we were overhauling our office infrastructure.It works great, allowed to identify some severe port loads and concurrency issues that caused problems before. Port mirroring for monitoring works great, the limit of 4 ports is still there, but it is expected on a switch of this class.This switch does not allow for application selection for traffic priority, as much simpler models do, but it gives an experienced user much more flexibility in setting up permissions and QoS.The only drawback, and the sole reason i gave it 4 stars, was that in an all-Mac environment we had to bring in a Windows machine to administer this switch, since it can only be managed using Internet Explorer. Firefox or Opera on windows box did not work either.So, all in all it's a great product, but would be better if it had multi-browser support for configuration purposes.

No power cord. How am I supposed to power the switch? That sucks. At least let the buyer beware. I hope the switch works which I won’t know until I get a freaking power cord!

The fan is surprisingly loud, even for a rack-mounted device intended for a machine room.However, the deal breaker for me (I'm returning the unit I bought) is that the web management interface does not work with Firefox. In fact, it works ONLY with IE on a PC.Given that many other Linksys products work with Firefox, I was pretty surprised.Linksys needs to have a talk with the clue fairy and cut some new firmware.

Great but crazy expensive.

The reviewers complaining about no Firefox support need to wake up, this is an entry level business switch, its server class, which has never really cared about such things. It's supposed to be managed from a server OS and not your macbook. While it would be nice to support all browsers it's a bit silly to dismiss the switch because of it.This product is noisy - you've been warned. I cracked mine open and there is no attempt to dampen the fans which are two 40mm SUNON running 12v 0.8a. The chips all have heat sinks on them. I removed the fans and put in single quieter fan and its better (don't mess with it unless you like voiding your warrantee).The web console is great, well featured with lots of advanced tools and settings to mess play with. I am pretty pleased with this purchase.
