EDS-828 Series Introduction
1-2
Overview
The EDS-828 is a high-performance Layer 3 Ethernet switch designed for network routing. The improved
hardware technology built into the EDS-828 replaces the software logic used by traditional routers, offering
better performance, and making the switch ideal for large scale local area networks (LANs). In addition to Layer
3 features, the EDS-828 also supports Layer 2 management features, including QoS, IGMP snooping/GMRP,
VLAN, LACP, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, RMON, IEEE 802.1X, HTTPS, and SSH. In order to meet the demands of any
industrial application, the EDS-828 uses a modular design that allows users to install up to 4 Gigabit Ethernet
ports and 24 fast Ethernet ports, providing a high degree of flexibility for network expansion.
