  • Management: L2 Easy Smart, web interface and utility, up to 32 VLANs
  • Traffic: QoS with 4 queues, IGMP snooping, link aggregation, rate limiting
  • Diagnostics: port mirroring, loop prevention, cable diagnostics
  • Installation and power: 1U rack or desktop, 294 × 180 × 44 mm, 100–240 V

Description

VLANs and QoS that keep calls and video smooth

Port-based and 802.1Q VLANs split the network into separate segments, for example for guests, cameras and accounting. QoS based on port or 802.1p priority moves voice and video ahead of other traffic. Port mirroring, loop prevention and cable diagnostics help locate a fault without extra equipment.

Who this network switch is for

Small and medium businesses with several workstations, printers and a server where the network needs to be segmented. It also suits IT staff who want a web-managed L2 switch that fits a server cabinet, and home lab owners learning how to configure VLANs.
