Introduction
Thank you for choosing the 24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port
10/100/1000 Gigabit Advanced Smart Switch with 2
Combo SFPs.
The 24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Advanced
Smart Switch brings a whole new level of intelligence and
security to the network infrastructure at a cost effective
price. It offers 24 10/100 Ethernet (copper) ports with two
10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet copper or optional optical
(SFP) interfaces for uplinking connected users to the core
network.
The 24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit
Advanced Smart Switch is able to secure the network
through 802.1X port authentication and MAC filtering.
802.1X requires clients to authenticate themselves before
the port will pass data.
The Switch’s extensive QoS features makes the solution
ideal for real-time applications like voice and video. The
four priority queues together with Weighted Round Robin
and Strict Priority scheduling techniques let network
administrators quickly prioritize real-time voice and video
traffic over data traffic. Individual users or applications
can also be prioritized above others using various Class of
Service options - by port, Layer 2 priority (802.1p), and Layer
3 priority (IP Precedence or DSCP). Intelligent broadcast,
multicast, and unknown unicast storm control minimizes
and contains the effects that these types storms have on
regular traffic. IGMP Snooping limits bandwidth-intensive
video traffic to only the requestors without flooding to all
users. Incoming traffic can be policed and outgoing traffic
can be shaped allowing network administrators to control
network access and traffic flow.
The Switch also includes features for network expansion
and faster throughput performance. Link aggregation
enables network administrators to create multiple high-
bandwidth trunks between switches. This provides a level
of reliability because the system will continue to operate if
one of the links breaks. Spanning Tree (STP), Fast Spanning
Tree, and Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) allow admins to
build a mesh of switches increasing the availability of the
system.
The simplified user interface provides an intuitive, secure
management platform enabling admins to better utilize
the comprehensive feature-set of the switch, resulting in
a better optimized, more secure network.
