Chapter1:Introduction
Welcome
The Linksys WebView Managed Switch allows you to expand your network securely. Configuration of the switch
is secured using SSL for Web access. User control is secured using 802.1x security using a RADIUS
authentication mechanism and can also be controlled using MAC-based filtering.
Extensive QoS features makes the solution ideal for real-time applications like Voice and Video. The 4 priority
queues together with the Weighted Round Robin and Strict Priority scheduling techniques facilitate efficient co-
existence of real-time traffic with data traffic allowing them each to meet their QoS needs. Individual users or
applications can be prioritized above others using various Class of Service options - by port, layer 2 priority
(802.1p), and Layer 3 priority (TOS or DSCP). Intelligent Broadcast, and Multicast storm control minimizes and
contain the effect of these types of traffic on regular traffic. IGMP Snooping limits bandwidth-intensive video
traffic to only the requestors without flooding to all users. Incoming traffic can be policed and outgoing traffic can
be shaped allowing you to control network access and traffic flow.
There are features that allow you to expand and grow your network of switches. Link aggregation allows multiple
high-bandwidth trunks between switches to be setup. This also provides a level of reliability in that the system
continues to operate if one of the links break. Spanning Tree (STP), Fast Spanning Tree, and Rapid Spanning Tree
(RSTP) allow you to build a mesh of switches increasing the availability of the system.
The rich management functionality of the WebView switches includes SNMP, RMON, Telnet, and HTTP
Management options, allowing you to flexibly integrate and manage these devices in your network.
