Designed for workgroups and departments,
The
2.2 Main Features
•Resiliency and Availability
+Link aggregation (LACP) increases aggregated bandwidth, optimizing the transport of business critical data.
+IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments.
+Multicast snooping automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic.
+Root Guard protects root bridge from malicious attack or configuration mistakes
•Layer 2 Switching
+GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs.
+Supports 255 active VLAN groups and 4K VLAN IDs.
•Quality of Service
+Supports L2/L3 granular CoS with 4 priority queues per port.
+Rate limiting confines the traffic flow accurately according to the preset value.
•Security
+Supports multiple industry standard user authentication methods such as 802.1x, RADIUS.
+IP Source Guard prevents IP spoofing attacks.
+Dynamic ARP Inspection blocks ARP packets from unauthorized hosts, preventing
+L2/L3/L4 Access Control Lists restrict untrusted access to the protected resource.
+Provides SSHv1/v2, SSL 2.0/3.0 and TLS v1 for access encryption.
•Manageability
+IP Clustering provides high scalability and easy
