SMART BROWSER-BASED USER INTERFACE
For networks that require more control, the switch management 
interface—completely redesigned to enhance useability—allows even
novice users to quickly and confidently configure the switch during
initial setup or normal operation. 

In addition, the web interface features individual port-traffic monitoring
(port mirroring) and a unique, quick-glance switch status review. A cable
diagnostic tool lets users troubleshoot basic connectivity problems via
the web management interface further simplifying network installation.

Traffic prioritization and

IEEE 802.1p Class of Service (CoS) and automatic assignment of VoIP 

auto-voice VLAN

traffic to dedicated VLANs help ensure that critical time-sensitive traffic 

gets the priority needed for quality communications.

Outstanding value

Take advantage of flexible, configurable and powerful switching that costs

not much more than an unmanaged switch.

Flexible Gigabit uplinks

Choose to daisychain multiple units together via the built-in copper

Gigabit uplink ports or connect to a network backbone via SFP-based

fiber modules.

Enhanced browser-based user 

Extremely easy-to-use user interface allows even the most novice users

interface 

to configure the switch during initial setup and monitor it during normal 

operation.

PoE support 

Provides power for IP phones, wireless LAN access points, and other 

compliant devices over the same cable used for data; lowers total cost of 

ownership since there is no need to run additional electrical wiring.

VLANs 

Segment the network by grouping users based on their data or traffic

exchange requirements. This ensures optimal use of available bandwidth

as traffic flow is directed according to the needs of the business. 

Manual link aggregation

Group together any number of ports to form an ultra-high-bandwidth 

(trunking)

connection to the network backbone; help prevent traffic bottlenecks.

Traffic monitoring

Administrators can examine suspect data streams received on any port 

(port mirroring) 

by mirroring the data stream to a monitoring port.

IEEE 802.1X network access control

Provides standards-based security combined with local authentication.

SNMP support

Switch can be managed with SNMP-compatible tools.

Rapid Spanning Tree 

Improves network compatibility, scalability and availability.

Protocol (RSTP) support

IGMP snooping and query

Multicast filtering optimizes network performance, instead of 

flooding traffic to all ports.

PoE configuration

PoE power can be enabled or disabled per unit and per port; power can 

also be limited per port.

Cable diagnostics

Easy-to-use browser based tools, allowing the users to remotely detect 

cable issues.
