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.
