Rate Limit Configuration

Type of Port: You can define the certain port as Policer and Shaper before you set up the rate limit.

No Limit: This drop-down menu allows you to specify that the selected port will have no bandwidth limit.

Rate Limit: There is also allow you to enter the data rate, in Kbits per second, this can limit for the selected port. The value is between 128kbps – 3968kbps.

Storm Control

Broadcast storms may occur when a device on your network is malfunctioning, or if application programs are not well designed or properly configured. If there is too much broadcast traffic on your network, performance can be severely degraded or everything can come to complete halt.

You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold for broadcast traffic for each port. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then be dropped.

Storm Control Configuration

There are three type of traffic which can be rate limited, including broadcast multicast frame and Flooded Uncast Rate.

ES-5816PGH specifications

The Edimax Technology ES-5816PGH is a high-performance PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch designed for efficient network management and seamless connectivity in various environments. This switch is particularly suitable for small and medium businesses, as well as home networks that require robust networking capabilities.

One of the standout features of the ES-5816PGH is its 16 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports. This allows for high-speed data transfer, significantly boosting network performance and enabling smooth multimedia streaming, online gaming, and other bandwidth-intensive applications. Each of the Gigabit ports supports auto-sensing technology, which enables the switch to automatically detect the speed of connected devices and adjust accordingly, ensuring optimal performance.

A notable aspect of the ES-5816PGH is its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), providing a total PoE budget of 100 watts across the connected devices. This feature eliminates the need for additional power outlets and simplifies installation by allowing network devices, such as IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones, to receive power directly through the Ethernet cable. The switch supports PoE standards, including IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of PoE devices.

In terms of advanced technologies, the ES-5816PGH boasts essential features such as IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support, which enables network segmentation for improved security and performance. This capability allows administrators to configure multiple virtual LANs to separate different types of traffic, enhancing overall network efficiency. Furthermore, the switch supports QoS (Quality of Service) settings, prioritizing critical network traffic to ensure that important data is transmitted without delays.

The build quality of the ES-5816PGH is robust, with a metal chassis designed for durability and reliable performance. Its fanless design is another significant advantage, allowing for silent operation, making it ideal for use in environments where noise is a concern.

Easy management features, such as web-based management interfaces, facilitate the configuration and monitoring of the switch for both novice users and IT professionals. With its reliable performance, PoE capabilities, and user-friendly management options, the Edimax Technology ES-5816PGH positions itself as an excellent solution for enhancing network infrastructure in various applications.
