The ports on this switch are in two banks of 4-ports. Po E is available on all ports, but only one bank is capable of supplying 802.3at up to a maximum of 30W per port, or until the Po E budget is exhausted. Quality of Service (Qo S) Numerous Qo S features ensure that traffic is prioritised properly to deliver the best possible user experience for real-time applications like voice & video along with bandwidth-intensive graphic/video file uploads & downloads. IGMP snooping limits IP multicast traffic to the ports that requested it, enabling the rest of the network to operate at peak efficiency. Network Security Unauthorised access to the network & mission-critical data is a constant concern. Linksys smart switches help secure networks through port authentication & MAC-based port security, requiring clients to authenticate themselves before any data is passed. Advanced DHCP snooping & IP-MAC binding functions ensure network integrity & help prevent network attacks. Network Expansion Linksys smart switches include features for quickly expanding & growing your network. Multiple high-bandwidth trunks between switches enhance availability & redundancy. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) & Storm Control features help control planned or inadvertent cable loops, so you can confidently build a mesh of switches & quickly expand your network to support your growing workforce.
