Linksys SRW2016-UK

Hi all
I'm yet another newbie to the world of switches and networking and have a question about the SRW2016-UK's webview.
I'm using ADSL2+ through a Draytek Vigor modem. The modem doesn't have the ability to store my ISP log in and password, obviously it's a piece of cake to have a PC pass this information, but in a perfect world it makes far more sense to have the switch do it
I've looked for info on the webview interface but can find nothing really. Does anyone know if this capability is available? I think it would be possible on some of the high end Cisco switches but they're a little out of my price range!
I haven't bought the switch yet, this is a fact finding exercise before I part with my hard earned
Thank you in advance for any info
Balders

Thanks Sk8erboi
Unfortunately I kinda thought that would be the answer
**bleep**, blast and dare I say....bugger!
I'm trying to construct this home network without a router as I have a few WAN servers with static WAN ip's plus I wanted to have some static LAN ip's and also a wireless router doing DHCP, but all from the same gateway (ie the switch or a port on the switch at least)
I thought a switch was the way to go - since our layer 3 cisco's at work can do this, or at least they can run a script to send configs to the WAN
I guess the actual question should have been 'can this switch still run IOS srcipts' or some such. I'm a bit out of my depth here I admit, but the fun is with the trying (and learning!)
Gonna have to rethink my whole idea!
Thank you again for your reply though

Trouble updating firmware on Linksys SRW2016.

We have had some trouble with one of our switches (an SRW2016) the existing image fails checksum check and the switch does not function.
We can/have connected to the console port and the switch boots and demands a new copy of the firmware be downloaded using XMODEM.
So here we get to the problem:
Hyperterminal, Advanced Serial Port Terminal and PuTTY have not been able to successfully download the copy of firmware we downloaded from Cisco. It all seems to work as the instructions on the Cisco web site say it should, right up to the commencement of the XMODEM download which stops almost immediately with no error and the switch appears to hang.
Any ideas?
TIA

I suggest you ask your question in the Cisco Small Business Support Community. The SRW is now part of Cisco Small Business. In the cisco community you'll find some Cisco people who may be able to help you better...

Linksys SRW2016 switch serial console not working

I have had the switch for about 2 years and recently moved. The manual specifies:
38400 bps and 8-n-1 serial port settings using DB9F to DB9F cable.
I have done this and tried using multiple machines/ports/cables as well as several peices of software (minicom, PuTTy, hyperterminal) and none give me any output from the switch at all.
The trouble is that in its original config, it had 1 port locked into its own VLAN for management with port security and an obscure RFC1918 IP address which I cannot recall for the life of me.
At this point, I have no access to TCP/IP management so serial console is my last hope and is not working.
Any ideas here?

Hi Tobias, after connecting to the console with the forementioned setting, reboot the switch and tap the enter key several times until the screen shows the post process and loading. If there is absolutely nothing loading the switch may be bad.

Solve this and you're a genious: Port problems with SRW2016

Equipment:
One SRW2016 fresh out of the box and set to factory default settings
One Dell Laptop running Windows XP
One custom network appliance running a full TCP/IP stack but limited to 10M half duplex.
Setup:
The laptop has a static IP address. The network appliance has a static IP address. The switch has the factory default static IP address. All three devices are on the same subnet.
The laptop is plugged into port 1 on the switch, and the network appliance is plugged into various ports as described below. The laptop is set to continuously ping the network appliance using the ping –t command.
Problem:
When the network appliance is plugged into switch port 2 I am unable to ping the device from the laptop. When I plug it into port 3 I get the same result. In fact I am unable to ping the network appliance on any of the switch ports EXCEPT for ports 7, 8, 15, and 16. As soon as I plug the network appliance into any one of those four ports, the pings are replied to.
My question is - why am I unable to communicate with the network appliance on any ports other then ports 7, 8, 15, and 16? What makes these four ports different then the others?
Other Notes:
I have a second Linksys SRW2016 and notice the exact same behavior.
I’ve also tried a Linksys SLM2008 8-Port switch and experience NO communication problems on any ports.
I’ve tried a hub and it works 100%
I notice that after trying to ping the network appliance on a non-working port, I can see the device properly listed in the ARP table on both the switch AND laptop. So I am unable to ping the device yet it somehow makes it into the ARP table.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Rob

Hi,
Thanks for explanation that not all ports are the same.
I've just had a similar issue with a Siemens C470IP ip phone. It worked fine with my Dlink 8-port DES3010F switch which I've just replaced with the SRW2016, and also when plugged into my Draytek 2820n ADSL router's LAN ports. I'm a bit disappointed that I happened to plug the device into port 3 and suddenly my monitoring showed that things were not working properly. I checked cables and then remembered that auto-negotiation sometimes can cause problems.
On the SRW2016 if I leave the port with auto-negotiate on I see:
                              Flow
Port   Enable   Link Spd/Dpx Ctrl
g3      ENABLE   UP    10H     Off
Yet inspite this pinging the device does not work properly. That is I get from ping:
64 bytes from 192.168.0.36: icmp_seq=431 ttl=128 time=7.357 ms
Request timeout for icmp_seq 432
64 bytes from 192.168.0.36: icmp_seq=433 ttl=128 time=8.956 ms
Request timeout for icmp_seq 434

Request timeout for icmp_seq 442
Request timeout for icmp_seq 443
Request timeout for icmp_seq 444
Request timeout for icmp_seq 445
Doing the explicit configuration of 10Mb Half duplex as suggested does not help either. In fact it's worse as I get no responses from a ping and it does not make any difference if I enable flow control or not.
So must be the Siemens device? Well plugging into port 16 as suggested makes all the difference:
Auto negotiation works and the link comes up and works fine:
That is:
                Auto          Flow
Port   Enable Neg. Spd/Dpx Ctrl
g13      ENABLE   On   Auto    Off
g14      ENABLE   On   Auto    Off
g15      ENABLE   On   Auto    Off
g16      ENABLE   On   Auto    Off
and
                                Flow
Port   Enable   Link Spd/Dpx Ctrl
g14     ENABLE   DOWN -----   ---
g15     ENABLE   DOWN -----   ---
g16     ENABLE   UP    10H     Off
and ping shows what I expect:

So why is this broken? Is it a firmware issue or a hardware issue? The firmware I'm using is I believe the latest though it looks rather old:
Boot Version:          1.0.1 (Date: 11-Jun-2006, Time: 18:43:59)
Software Version:      1.2.2b (Date: 28-Feb-2008, Time: 16:47:37)
Hardware Version:      00.03.00
If this affects me it's likely to affect others and I really wanted to buy the switch to add to the number of "managed ports" I have. This current behaviour is rather disappointing and I would have hoped that perhaps a firmware upgrade would solve this, or the documentation would be clearer that some devices do not work properly (auto-negotiation seems to be rather a troublesome subject). Is such a fix available?

Connecting a WRVS4400N to a SRW2016

I am installing a Linksys WRVS4400N (Wireless Router) and a Linksys SRW2016 (Switch) I have this wired as follows The WAN port is connected to a Cable modem and I can get to the internet when directly connected to the router (see latter comments) Port 1 (LAN) on the router using 568B connected to Port 1 (LAN) on the switch also using 568B I do not get a link light on either the Router or switch but If I remove his cable from the Switch and plug into my laptop I get a link light and an able to connect to the Internet on the Router.
This in my opinion proves the cable is fine.
I have changed the wiring on one end to 566A and keep the other at 568B and am unable to either connect to the router through the Switch (no link lights on either device) nor via my laptop. Thoughts.

Go to the L2 Switch tab of the wrvs4400n under port settings. Change the mode from auto negotiation to 1000 full down to 10 half until the light lit. If still same thing try using a different port on the switch and make sure the ethernet cable is working properly.

Linksys SRW2008MP VLAN problems

Hello,
We have 7 SRW2008MP's and one SRW2016.
We successfully configured 2 VLANS on all the above switches and found no problems when the Linksys SRW switches' VLANS were linked with two copper or FO cables.
We recently needed to extend both Linksys SRW VLAN's through two independent Copper VLAN's provided by an outside source on L3 Cisco Catalyst switches.
The odd think is that:
When we connect computers directly to both ends of the L3 Cisco Catalyst switches, Traffic passes just fine.
When we connect the Linksys SRW switches that are setup for two VLAN's to one or both of the L3 Cisco Catalyst switches Vlans, no traffic will pass on either L3 Cisco Catalyst switch VLAN.
When we reset the Linksys SRW switches to Factory Default, Traffic passes just fine on a single L3 Cisco Catalyst switch VLAN but we no longer have the VLANs we need.
My Question is:
Do the Linksys SRW switches require special VLAN setting in order to utilized the L3 Cisco Catalyst switches VLAN's ?
FYI...We are not using trucked VLAN's. We are using two independent (Copper Connected) Vlans.
Thanks very much for any suggestions/examples you may have.
Dimitri

Hello and good evening,
I am not sure I understand your term 'two independent vlans'. Do you mean that these vlans are local to that switch only?
When configuring multiple vlans on the Cisco and small business switches, you need to configure trunking inbetween the switches IF YOU WANT the vlans to span the multiple switches.
Trunking will ensure that non native vlans (by default vlan 1) will have a the correct 802.1q / vlan tag on it; this is called vlan tagging or frame tagging.
The small business switches can be a bit confusing in that you have to make sure the vlans are marked as tagged and not excluded. On some models, by default these additional vlans are set to excluded, meaning that these vlans cannot traverse a trunk / inter-switch link.
If you want these vlans to span multiple switches, then make sure to check your trunk configs and ensure that all vlans are set to tag - except the default or native vlan.

Is the SRW2016 a "green" device?

I am looking for the following informaiton on the SRW2016 to determine if it qualifies for the "going green" initiative of our customers:
1.     Where is it assembled? (city/state)
2.     Where are materials it is made from manufactured? (city/state)
3.     Are there any recycled materials in it? If yes, what percentage?
4.     Does Cisco/Linksys have any “VOC” data on it? (Volatile Organic Compounds)
Can someone please send me the answers to these questions or a link to where I can get them all answered on Cisco's website?
Thanks!
Becky

Resolution - Printing HP LaserJet & Linksys Wireless Print Server WPS54GU2

Hello Guys:
After trying to figure out for 10 days and calling HP, Applet and Linksys support, i finally am able to print to my printer.
I have iMac running Tiger 10.4.8. I have a HP LaserJet 1012 Printer connected in a USB Port to the Wireless Print Server WPS54GU2. This is what I did to get it working.
First install the following drivers:
1) Go to http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/ and download hpijs-foomatic-2.0.2.ppc.dmg and espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg file. Install hpijs first and espgs second.
2) After that Go to Server Preferences, Double click on Print/Fax.
3) Click on the "+" sign, select Line Printer Daemon - LPD
4) In the Address field, enter the IP address of your print server.
5) In the Queue name (This is very important). I used L2 for USB. You can try P1, L1 as well. Not sure how you have connected to the print server. For me L2 worked. I had tried using L1 and P1 and it didn't work for me.
6) The Name field should automatically be populated.
7) In the Print Using, select HP and then select "HP LaserJet 1012 Foomatic/hpijs" as the printer or whatever driver you have for your printer.
8) Click on Add
And now open up text edit or something and you should be able to print.
let me know if there are any questions.

Try Repairing permissions (Disk Utility). Then restart, then add again.
What do you mean by the printer doesn't show up - the driver (print using:)?
You can try the generic HP Photosmart P1100 Gimp-Print driver that comes in OS X.

A new IMac, old xp pc, Linksys and a new Hp All in one...now what?

Someone please point me in the right direction. I need to share all the functions of the HP all in one, printing and scanning with my new mac and old xp PC. Sharing files will be nice as well. At this point all will be hardwired. I may add a PC notebook wirelessly in the future. The Imac and the pc are hardwired to the router ( Linksys WRT54G Version 2). At this point I can access the internet fine. The printer HP CM1312nfi MFP is still in the box.
What do I do next. My router is out of warrantee and Linksys will not help. Apple care tells me to call Linksys and HP says the same.
I need a simple step by step guide that I can understand. I have been searching the internet for days and I simply give up?
Please help.
Thanks in advance!

Issue in connecting to the internet wireless with my Linksys

OK. Here's the deal. I am entirely frustrated and also over my head trying to solve this on my own as I have no idea what I'm doing.
I have a Mac Powerbook, OS X (3.9). I have always connected to the internet wirelessly through my Linksys router (Wireless B Access Point, Model Wap 11).
I have recently moved and now use Comcast for my internet. When they installed my internet, I had not yet unpacked my wireless router, so I was set up to be connected via the actual cable plugged in. Now that the router is all set up, I cannot for the life of me get my wireless to work. Currently, I can use the internet wirelessly in other homes/school no problem. In those cases, I don't do anything, I just turn on my computer and it connects automatically. But for some reason in my apartment I cannot make it work.
I *think* the problem lies somewhere in the IP address area? If I look at my Airport settings and go to the TCP/IP tab, there is no information contained on the screen. Meaning, in the area where it says IP Address, Subnet Mask and Router, there is NO data listed, just gray empty space. The same goes for the DNS Servers and Search Domains areas, but at least in that case there is a white box to input text.
I can choose the "Configure IPv4 Using DHCP Manually" and that will let me input numbers, but I have no idea if I should even be playing around with this.
Also, perplexing me even more, is the fact that I can choose my Linksys internet connection through the Airport screen, and when I have selected it, I show full bars. But I can't actually connect.
Silly me, I attempted to call Comcast for help with the issue, but they say that as long as I can connect to the internet in any way (plugged in) then they do not care that I can't connect wirelessly.
I miss checking my email in bed...someone please help!!!
Thanks a million in advance for any and all help.

Are u talking about routers username , password? Well there is one routers username ,password (default is "admin") and the other is your cable ISP username , password (on the routers webpage). I am talking about the latter. If nothing works, try resetting your router ... You will have to configure it again (doesnt take much time if you know it).

How to hook up a Linksys WRT54G to Motorola NVG589. PLEASE HELP!

Hello, I have recently switched over to AT&T Uverse and I am loving it. One thing I miss is having extra ethernet ports to plug in my desktop computer and my Xbox 360. When the Uverse technician came in, he installed a Motorola NVG589 modem that also has a built in wireless router. He also installed a VAP2500 as a receiver for 2 wireless TV boxes. The VAP2500 plugs into the back of the Motorola NVG589. 3 other TV boxes are plugged into the back as well. My dilemma is the fact that all of the ports are being taken up. I need at least 2 more ethernet ports free so I can hook up my Xbox 360 (my model doesn't have built in wifi) and my desktop computer as well. I told the technician this when he installed the system and he told me to go on ebay and buy 2 cheap splitters and split 2 TV boxes that are coming into the NVG589. I did so. It didn't work out. I called up AT&T and the guy over the phone said that was the worst thing I could've done. He told be I should buy an ethernet switch. I had my Linksys WRT54G (Version 6) router laying around at the time and realized that it had a built in ethernet switch. I want to get this to also function as another Wifi hotspot because I have an old PowerMac G4 downstairs that won't connect to the NVG589 for some reason (it says connection timeout). I am guessing that the wifi card in the system may be too old to connect to the modern NVG589. So, I need the 2 extra ethernet ports and another Wifi hotspot from this setup. I have tried multiple things to get this to work. The closest way I could get it to work was when I plugged an ethernet cable from the LAN port on the WRT54G to port on the back of the NVG589. I then plugged the TV box ethernet cable I had to disconnect into the second LAN port on the WRT54G as well as plugging my Xbox 360 into the 3rd LAN port and my computer into the 4th LAN port. This worked great for the TV box and the Xbox 360. However, the computer's ethernet connection ran very slow and the WIfi from the WRT54G was very slow as well. The Wifi from the NVG589 was slow too. I unhooked that setup and put it back to what it was beforehand. Is there anyone that knows of a flawless way of setting this up? Any articles someone can link me to? I've heard of bridging the NVG589...would that help me? How exactly would I do that? Please HELP. I have attached pics. On the back of the NVG589 - green ethernet is the DSL cable, both white ethernet cables along with the black one are TV boxes and the yellow ethernet cable is the VAP 2500. Thanks!

I am guessing that the wifi card in the system may be too old to connect to the modern NVG589. So, I need the 2 extra ethernet ports and another Wifi hotspot from this setup. I have tried multiple things to get this to work. The closest way I could get it to work was when I plugged an ethernet cable from the LAN port on the WRT54G to port on the back of the NVG589. I then plugged the TV box ethernet cable I had to disconnect into the second LAN port on the WRT54G as well as plugging my Xbox 360 into the 3rd LAN port and my computer into the 4th LAN port. This worked great for the TV box and the Xbox 360. However, the computer's ethernet connection ran very slow and the WIfi from the WRT54G was very slow as well. The Wifi from the NVG589 was slow too. I unhooked that setup and put it back to what it was beforehand. Is there anyone that knows of a flawless way of setting this up? Any articles someone can link me to? I've heard of bridging the NVG589...would that help me? How exactly would I do that? Please HELP. I have attached pics. On the back of the NVG589 - green ethernet is the DSL cable, both white ethernet cables along with the black one are TV boxes and the yellow ethernet cable is the VAP 2500. Thanks! Ya, the install tech must have been sleeping or texting or something during training.... or it's possible he misunderstood you and thought your were talking about needing extra phone ports, which could be accomplished with simple splitters. You were almost where you needed to be with your setup, you just missed some steps. Connect your wired computer only to one of the Linksys' LAN port. With the Linksys powered up press and hold the reset button for 15 seconds (will need toothpick or unfolded paperclip). This will perform a "factory" reset. When the Linksys is fully rebooted, log in to the Linksys. Do not configure the "Internet Connection Type" on the Linksys. Navigate to the "Wireless" section on the Linksys and configure the wireless. Do not use the same SSID (wireless network name) that the NVG589 uses. Save changes. Navigate to the "LAN" configuration on the Linksys and set the routers address to 192.168.1.1 and disable the DHCP Server. Save changes. This step will kick you out of the router. Power down your computer and the Linksys, run an Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the NVG589 to a LAN port on the Linksys, then power up the Linksys, and when it's fully rebooted, power up your computer. You should be good to go at this point. You will want to individually configure your wireless devices to use either the wireless network from the NVG or the wireless network from the Linksys. Otherwise they make keep jumping back and forth between the two, which will degrade performance for that device. You may still notice a slight to moderate performance drop for the wireless on both the NVG and the Linksys because they will be competing for the same wireless airspace along with the VAP2500.

Iphone Remote App with Linksys having problems

Okay I have a Linksys Wirless Router, my Laptop and iphone connect to the linksys via wireless using WPA, the wireless works great, I get my iphone hooked to the wireless network .. check stocks, weather, google around.. all that works !
I use my Remote App on my iphone and sweet that works too ... connects to my library shows my playlist on itunes .. I can play rewind, skip - everything works .. for about 3 - 4 minutes ...:( I play the songs i want click on skip a couple and boom, within 3-4 minutes my entire wireless network is down !
my linksys goes into a frenzy ... If i leave the remote app alone .. my linksys would run just fine forever ... 3 - 4 minutes into using my iphone remote app and my wireless networks toast ... anyone here having the same issue ?
I have a airport express that I plan to use as my default wireless router (replacing my linksys) to see if apples own wirless router has this problem as well ..
I sure hope not ... will keep posted .. but let me know if anyone is experiencing the same problem and if there is a fix ...

Hi,
Since I upgraded the Remote software to version 1.3.3 (4) it seems that when I'm browsing the music Library of my Apple TV, I can click on any artist and or album. So far so good, but after selecting, the tracktitle is shown on top of the screen, but the track is not loaded and cannot be played.
If I unplug my Apple TV then it works again, but after browsing and changing tracks 1 or 2 times, the bug occurs again.
Martijn I've read your the post and tried to delete the songs/artists that have the word 'Edit' in it, re-synchronized the apple TV with my iTunes Library, but no luck for me.

Please help... Linksys router and Imac help

I just switched to Mac, but I might be returning the Imac and getting a Dell or something because it's getting a little ridiculous.
My IP address on my Linksys router is not being recognized by the airport in my new Imac. It took FOREVER for me to get this to work and now it has crapped out 2 times in the last 4 days. I am about to take this new Mac back to the store and go back to a Dell.
Here is a basic description of what is happening:
When I do a diagnostic test I click on Airport and it is saying that the airport signal is fine (green dots), but it doesn't find the IP address. I select my network name that the Airport is picking up and still nothing. I can even get online by selecting a different wi-fi signal from someone that lives close to me too. It's obviously something with my Linksys router that does not work well with my Mac.
Also, even when my Mac doesn't get online, my Ps3 and 360 both still do so I know it is the computer/router that is the problem.
I try unplugging the router, modem, restarting...etc. but it just seems so wierd that it goes off like that.... It's also very annoying, because then I have to hear from my wife about that we spent $1500 on a computer that won't get online some of the time, when I can still get online on my PS3 and 360.
By the way, when I am not connected to the internet Safari will NOT let me put in the 192.168.1.1 in the address bar to get to my router settings. But I did check them from my PS3 and the "clone my MAC" thing is still enabled.
Apple's software update tells me there's no new software available for my machine, which leaves me with no idea what's causing this or how to fix it.
Any advice, solutions, or tips are greatly appreciated.
Can anyone please help me??? If this is going to be a continuous problem, I am taking the computer back and getting a new Dell or something since we mostly use the computer for the internet functions.
Anybody please help???

Let's double-check your iMac's AirPort settings ...
System Preferences > Network > AirPort
o Location: Automatic
o In the left column, verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "+" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
o Verify that AirPort is "On." Click "Turn AirPort On" button if not.
o Ask to join new networks: (enabled)
o Show AirPort status in menu bar: (enabled)
Systems Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced
AirPort tab
o Remember any network this computer has joined: (enabled)
o Disconnect from wireless networks when logging out: (enabled)
o Require Administrator password to control AirPort: (disabled)
TCP/IP tab
o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
o Configure IPv6: Off
DNS tab
o DNS Servers: <if required, add your desired DNS server IP address(es) here>
o Search Domains: <if required, add your desired DNS Search Domain(s) here>
WINS tab
o Enter desired WINS info or leave the defaults
AppleTalk tab
o Make AppleTalk Active: (disabled)
802.11X tab
o Enter desired 802.11X info or leave the defaults
Proxies tab
o Enter the desired Proxies info or leave the defaults
If you connect your iMac directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN ports on your Linksys router, can it access the Internet now?

Slow/Erratic Wireless Internet Speeds. Have tried a lot. (Multiple Linksys Routers)

I just moved into a new house, and now have a 10mb ADSL connection.
When wired (direct to the modem, or through routers) my speeds are fine.
But when on wireless, they are very erratic. I use a local speedtest site, and when wired it will get up to the correct speed quickly and stay there till test concludes. But on wireless, it will sometimes do that, but 90% of the time it will slowly get up to speed, drop a few Mb's, maybe stay at half speed, maybe go back up, etc....
I have 4 linksys routers (no not all in use currently), 2 WRT54G's, WRT54G2, and a WRT160n.
I have two laptops, one running a Dell 1490 card (Broadcom) and a HP Tablet running a N card (it is broadcom, will have to look up the model). Have tested multiple OS's (XP, Vista, 7).
Nothing seems to make a difference, so problem between all routers. I have tried changing channels to no avail. But other than that, I am not familiar with "fine tuning" as I have never had to in the past.
Any suggestions would be awesome!

Sometimes, firmware make a reat difference...Its a real coincidence that you are facing the wireless connectivity problem with all the 4 router's you have.However you try upgrading your router's firmware and try to reconfigure it from the scratch and hopefully it should work...
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
