ROBUST Po E+ CAPABILITIES FOR BUSINESS-CLASS APPLICATIONS Built to deliver business-class performance, the Linksys Business LGS308MP Po E+ Smart 8-Port Gigabit Network Switch offers the efficiency, security, & scalability needed to support your growing business. This high-powered network switch dramatically streamlines installation of peripheral devices & eliminates the need for dedicated electrical wiring thanks to Power over Ethernet Plus (Po E+), which allows network cables to transfer power. With 130 total watts dedicated to Po E+, the smart network switch delivers substantially more power than ordinary Po E switches-making it ideal for supporting expansive surveillance cameras, door access control systems, Pro AV systems, access points, video Vo IP phones, & other demanding applications. An ideal choice for demanding LAN environments, the 8-port gigabit switch intelligently manages traffic to ensure peak efficiency & performance. Flexible network expansion options & advanced security features make this switch a suitable solution for business-class applications. FACILITATES QUICK-&-EASY NETWORK EXPANSION Ideal for complex network environments that demand multiple switches, Linksys gigabit switches are designed to scale alongside the needs of your growing workforce. They help ensure smooth & seamless network expansion by leveraging IEEE802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, which prevents formation of loops that can be deadly to your network. Multiple high-bandwidth trunks carry data smoothly between the switches, helping alleviate congestion & improve availability. & thanks to Storm Control, the switches also help minimize loss of service by monitoring & suppressing traffic levels. QUALITY OF SERVICE (Qo S) FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE Equipped with numerous Qo S features, the LGS308MP switch intelligently manages traffic to help deliver the best user experience possible. The switch leverages IGMP snooping to limit IP multicast traffic to ports that request it, enabling the rest of the network to operate at peak efficiency. This allows users to engage in video streaming, Vo IP calls, high-volume file uploads, & other bandwidth-intensive tasks without worry of slowing down the network. KEEPS NETWORK PROTECTED WITH ADVANCED SECURITY The LGS308MP switch safeguards your networks mission-critical data from unauthorized access using port authentication & MAC-based port security that require clients to authenticate themselves before any data is transferred. DHCP snooping filters out traffic from untrusted sources, & IP-MAC binding functions help promote overall network integrity to protect against attacks.
