NetGear 24PT GIGABIT Plus Switch

Product Description

Control & Configure Beyond Plug-N-Play Connectivity Growing businesses demand & rely more on their network to carry out mission-critical business activities. Companies are putting more network traffic & applications such as Vo IP phones & IP cameras on their Ethernet infrastructure. It needs the network intelligence to separate the voice & video traffic from data & prioritise them accordingly. However, companies do not necessarily have more money or better training to deal with complex managed switches. NETGEAR Pro SAFE Plus Switches meet this growing need by providing fundamental network features that will help optimise the performance of business networks. On top of the plug-N-play Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, these switches also offer essential networking features such as VLAN, Qo S, IGMP Snooping, Link Aggregation (LAG), rate limiting & traffic monitoring. NETGEAR Pro SAFE Plus Switches are an exceptional value for businesses looking to add intelligence to their network beyond what unmanaged switches can provide. Prioritise Voice/ Video With the ability to set up & configure Qo S, these Gigabit Plus Switches can detect different types of network traffic & assign the desired priority to latency-sensitive traffic, such as voice & video. This helps improve the delivery quality of related applications such as Vo IP, multimedia broadcasting & video conferencing. IGMP Snooping for Optimised Multimedia Traffic Delivery By listening in on the IGMP conversation between hosts & routers, the Gigabit Plus switch can maintain a map as to which links need which IP multicast streams. The Gigabit Plus switch therefore will be able to forward multicast traffic only to the links that have asked for them & cut multicast traffic from links that do not contain a multicast listener. Essentially, IGMP snooping helps optimise multicast performance at Layer 2 & is especially useful for bandwidth-intensive IP multicast applications such as IPTV
