Secure Networking Security features include IP-MAC-Port-VID Binding, Port Security, Storm Control and DHCP Snooping to protect against a range of network threats. An integrated list of common DoS attacks is available, making it easier than ever to prevent them. Also, the Access Control Lists (ACL, L2 to L4) feature restricts access to sensitive network resources by denying packets based on source and destination MAC address, IP address, TCP/UDP ports, or VLAN ID. Users' network access can be controlled via 802.1X authentication, which works with a RADIUS/Tacacs+ server to allow access only when valid user credentials are provided.
Advanced QoS
Voice and video traffic can be prioritized based on IP address, MAC address, TCP port number, UDP port number and more. With QoS (Quality of Service), voice and video services remain smooth even when there is a shortage of bandwidth.
Abundant L2 and L2+ features
A full range of L2 features are supported, including 802.1Q VLAN, Port Mirroring, STP/RSTP/MSTP, Link Aggregation Control Protocol, and 802.3x Flow Control. Advanced IGMP snooping ensures that the switch intelligently forwards multicast streams to only the right subscribers, avoiding unnecessary traffic, while IGMP throttling and filtering restricts each subscriber at the port level to prevent unauthorized multicast access. Static routing is an easy way to segment the network and route traffic internally through the switch for improved efficiency.
ISP features
sFlow, QinQ, L2PT PPPoE ID Insertion and IGMP authentication features are provided, developed with service providers in mind. 802.3ah OAM and Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) provide easy monitoring and troubleshooting of Ethernet connections.
