SR2024 4-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch - Wire-speed switching and Linksys reliability in a 24-port Gigabit switch
The 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch provides non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit network clients. With the 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch, you can connect your existing 10/100 Ethernet network to a Gigabit server backbone without any additional equipment.
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.
Address learning and aging is supported, as well as 802.3x flow control with head-of-line blocking prevention to keep your high-speed clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic. Fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
Twenty-four 10/100/1000Mbps, half/full duplex, switched ports, and two Mini-GBIC expansion ports
Forwards and filters packets at non-blocking, full wire speed
All ports have auto speed negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X crossover detection
Dell is one of the world’s largest computer manufacturers. Dell builds products for both the home and office, from highly customisable laptops to printers and flat panel monitors.
Dell products have been highly rated by the consumers on ProductReview.com.au due to their value for money, excellent performance and reliability.
Cons:
2 switches failed in less than 12 months. Trying to obtain an RMA is like pulling teeth, be prepared to waste an hour to get to the RMA, then waste more time filling the form out with the same information recorded in obtaining the Case ID No. Procedures are for the guidance of wise men and the blind obediance of fools. Linksys should review their "Alice in Wonderland" procedures and develop a user friendly questionaire to describe the fault on their website that would generate the RMA. The faulty item should be then sent to a national centre for prommpt replacement and not back to individual resellers
Overall:
The overall quality is poor for an expensive product that claims to be for business use.
The RMA procedure appears to be one of attrition in that the person attempting to make a claim surrenders before completing the procedure thereby skewing the reliabilty figures

Pros: Good quality and performance.
Cons: Expensive and Noisy!!!!
Overall: I’d love to recommend this product only if I didn’t find out that the switch sound is like a vacuum cleaner that is really annoying. The price will also make you think twice. Find something better elsewhere.
