Introduction
The 24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch + 2
MiniGBIC
This new Linksys rack-mount switch delivers non-blocking, wire speed
switching for your 10/100 Mbps network clients, plus multiple options
for connecting to your network backbone. Twenty-four 10/100 ports
wire-up your workstations, while the integrated 10/100/1000 ports or
miniGBIC ports connect to your servers or backbone at Gigabit speeds.
The SR224G incorporates non-blocking, wire-speed architecture that
forwards packets as fast as your network can deliver them. It features
broadcast storm suppression that maximizes the system availability.
Also included are Address Learning and Aging function to prevent data
transfer errors and Data Flow Control to help prevent packet loss.
All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don’t
have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently and
automatically negotiates for best speed and whether to run in half- or
full-duplex mode. Head-of-line blocking prevention keeps your high-
speed clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic and fast store-
and-forward switching prevents damaged packets from being passed
on into the network.
No matter how intensive your network demands, the Linksys 24-Port
10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch + 2 MiniGBIC has speed, flexibility, and
reliability that you can count on.

Product Overview
Front Panel
The LEDs and network ports are located on the front panel of the
Switch.
Front Panel
LEDs
System (Green) This LED lights up and remains lit when the Switch is
powered on.
1-24 (Green) Each LED lights up when a connection is made through its
corresponding port. It flashes when the corresponding port is active.
Gigabit/miniGBIC 1-2 (Green) The Gigabit/miniGBIC LED lights up
when a connection is made through the corresponding Gigabit port. It
flashes when the corresponding port is active.
Ports
1-24 These ports connect the Switch to network devices,
such as computers.
Gigabit 1-2 The Gigabit RJ-45 ports support 10/100/1000
Mbps connections and are connection points for network
devices such as Gigabit servers. Each Gigabit RJ-45 port is
paired with a miniGBIC port. If a miniGBIC module is present,
the corresponding 10/100/1000 RJ-45 port will be disabled.
MiniGBIC 1-2 The two miniGBIC (Gigabit interface converter)
ports are connection points for miniGBIC modules, so the
Switch can uplink via fiber to another switch or two. The
miniGBIC ports are compatible with the MGBSX1, MGBLH1,
and MGBT1 only.
