8100S Series Fiber Switches | Layer 2–4 Fast Ether net Stackable Switches
Environmentally Friendly
In keeping with our commit ment to
environmentally friendly processes and
products, the 8100S Series is designed
to be green from the grou nd up, with
reduced power consumption and
minimal hazardous waste.
The use of highly recyclable me tal,
combination of green production
processes, earth friendly packaging, high
efciency power supplies a nd effective
power management deliver bot h cost
savings and a reduced car bon footprint
to the user.
Access Control Lists
Access Control Lists wor k as lters that
can enable inspection a nd classication
of incoming data. Specic actions can
then be performed on these dened
data frames to more ef fectively manage
the network traf c at Layer 2 through
Layer 4. ACLs are typica lly used as
security mechanism , either permittin g
or denying entry for packet s on specic
switch ports.
Effective Trafc Monitoring
In order to fully under stand the
performance of the net work and ensure
the ongoing smooth deliver y of critical
data, users mus t be able to measure and
analyze the traf c in real time.
The 8100S Series facilitate s effective
trafc monitor ing with sFlow, an industry -
standard technolog y for monitoring high-
speed switched net works gives complete
visibility into the use of the n etwork
enabling performance optimization,
accounting, billing for usage, and eve n
defense against securi ty threats.
Securing the Network Edge
In addition to the secure b er
connectivity, the 8100S Ser ies
guarantees protec tion and secure
management of administrator’s network
by providing strong secur ity standards
and authentication m echanism for
access at the edge of a network .
IEEE 802.1x port authentic ation
methods such as PEAP, EAP-TLS and
EAP-TTLS suppor ted by the 8100S
Series allows a networ k controller to
restrict ex ternal devices from gaining
unauthenticated access i n to the
network.
The Multiple Supplicant Authentication
enables the switch to uni quely
authenticate and app ly the appropriate
policies and VLAN for mul tiple users or
devices on a shared por t, allowing port
expansion while keeping the n etwork
secure.
Gigabit and Fast Etherne t SFP
Support
The 8100S Series suppor ts both
Gigabit and Fast E thernet Small Form-
Factor Pluggable (SFP) up links. The
dual-speed por ts make this series ideal
for environments where Gigabit ber
switches will be phased i n over time.
The 8100S Series allows for connec tivity
to the legacy 100FX ha rdware until the
uplink device is upgraded to G igabit.
Layer 3 Routing
The switch provides s tatic IPv4 routing
at the edge of the network a s well as
support for RIP v1 and RIPv2.
