8100S Series Fiber Switches
| Layer 2–4 Fast Ethernet Stackable Switches
Environmentally Friendly
In keeping with our commitment to
environmentally friendly processes and
products, the 8100S Series is designed
to be green from the ground up, with
reduced power consumption and
minimal hazardous waste.
The use of highly recyclable metal,
combination of green production
processes, earth friendly packaging, high
efficiency power supplies and effective
power management deliver both cost
savings and a reduced carbon footprint
to the user.
Access Control Lists
Access Control Lists work as filters that
can enable inspection and classification
of incoming data. Specific actions can
then be performed on these defined
data frames to more effectively manage
the network traffic at Layer 2 through
Layer 4. ACLs are typically used as
security mechanism, either permitting
or denying entry for packets on specific
switch ports.
Effective Traffic Monitoring
In order to fully understand the
performance of the network and ensure
the ongoing smooth delivery of critical
data, users must be able to measure and
analyze the traffic in real time.
The 8100S Series facilitates effective
traffic monitoring with sFlow, an industry-
standard technology for monitoring high-
speed switched networks gives complete
visibility into the use of the network
enabling performance optimization,
accounting, billing for usage, and even
defense against security threats.
Securing the Network Edge
In addition to the secure fiber
connectivity, the 8100S Series
guarantees protection and secure
management of administrator’s network
by providing strong security standards
and authentication mechanism for
access at the edge of a network.
IEEE 802.1x port authentication
methods such as PEAP, EAP-TLS and
EAP-TTLS supported by the 8100S
Series allows a network controller to
restrict external devices from gaining
unauthenticated access in to the
network.
The Multiple Supplicant Authentication
enables the switch to uniquely
authenticate and apply the appropriate
policies and VLAN for multiple users or
devices on a shared port, allowing port
expansion while keeping the network
secure.
Gigabit and Fast Ethernet SFP
Support
The 8100S Series supports both
Gigabit and Fast Ethernet Small Form-
Factor Pluggable (SFP) uplinks. The
dual-speed ports make this series ideal
for environments where Gigabit fiber
switches will be phased in over time.
The 8100S Series allows for connectivity
to the legacy 100FX hardware until the
uplink device is upgraded to Gigabit.
Layer 3 Routing
The switch provides static IPv4 routing
at the edge of the network as well as
support for RIPv1 and RIPv2.
