4. What is the advantage of having a gigabit switch when it comes to data transfer?
Gigabit switches can minimize transfer times and allow you to stream high-bandwidth files to connected devices without interference.
5. What are the protocols supported by the Linksys LGS124?
The Linksys LGS124 switch complies with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x, 802.3ab, and 802.3az standards.
6. Can I wall-mount the switch?
No. The Linksys LGS124 can only be mounted on a rack.
7. Can I use the switch to share an internet connection to all computers in the network?
No, the switch does not have this capability. Only routers or modems with DHCP capabilities can allow sharing of internet connection between computers. However, a switch can allow more computers to connect to a local network. For the computers to have internet access, the switch should be connected to a router or modem.
8. What is the warranty period for the Linksys LGS124?
The Linksys LGS124 v1 has a limited lifetime warranty while the Linksys LGS124 v2 has a 5-year warranty.
9. Does the Linksys LGS124 have a Quality of Service (QoS) feature?
Yes, the switch has a QoS feature. However, the Linksys LGS124 is not a manageable switch; therefore, the QoS setting is predefined and can't be configured or customized.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. What should I do if the switch experiences excessive data collisions?
When this happens, make sure that the network cabling is crimped securely and installed properly.
1. Verify if the switch and the computer are connected properly and the indicator lights on the switch are properly lit as outlined below:
