n addition, the web interface features individual port-traffic monitoring
(port mirroring) and a unique, quick-glance switch status review. A cable
diagnostic tool lets users troubleshoot basic connectivity problems via

Feature Description
Traffic prioritization and IEEE 802.1p Class of Service (CoS) and automatic assignment of VoIP
auto-voice VLAN traffic to dedicated VLANs help ensure that critical time-sensitive traffic
gets the priority needed for quality communications.
Outstanding value Take advantage of flexible, configurable and powerful switching that costs
not much more than an unmanaged switch.
Flexible Gigabit uplinks Choose to daisychain multiple units together via the built-in copper
Gigabit uplink ports or connect to a network backbone via SFP-based
fiber modules.
Enhanced browser-based user Extremely easy-to-use user interface allows even the most novice users
interface to configure the switch during initial setup and monitor it during normal
operation.
PoE support Provides power for IP phones, wireless LAN access points, and other
compliant devices over the same cable used for data; lowers total cost of
ownership since there is no need to run additional electrical wiring.
VLANs Segment the network by grouping users based on their data or traffic
exchange requirements. This ensures optimal use of available bandwidth
as traffic flow is directed according to the needs of the business.
Manual link aggregation Group together any number of ports to form an ultra-high-bandwidth
(trunking) connection to the network backbone; help prevent traffic bottlenecks.
Traffic monitoring Administrators can examine suspect data streams received on any port
(port mirroring) by mirroring the data stream to a monitoring port.
IEEE 802.1X network access control Provides standards-based security combined with local authentication.
SNMP support Switch can be managed with SNMP-compatible tools.
Rapid Spanning Tree Improves network compatibility, scalability and availability.
Protocol (RSTP) support
IGMP snooping and query Multicast filtering optimizes network performance, instead of
flooding traffic to all ports.
PoE configuration PoE power can be enabled or disabled per unit and per port; power can
also be limited per port.
Cable diagnostics Easy-to-use browser based tools, allowing the users to remotely detect
cable issues.
