Features

Performance

• Layer 3 hardware with L2+ software affordability
• Built upon L3 hardware platform while Layer 2+ software package allows for better budget optimization
• Uses latest generation silicon low-power 40-nanometer technology
• L2 and L3 switching features (access control list, classification, filtering, IPv4 routing) are performed in hardware at interface line rate for voice, video, and data convergence
• Layer 2+ software package provides straight forward IP static routing capabilities for physical interfaces, VLANs and subnets
• 16K MAC address table, 1K concurrent VLANs and 64 static routes for SMB and small enterprise access layers
• Increased packet buffering with up to 12 Mb dynamically shared accross all interfaces for most intensive applications
• Low latency at all network speeds
• Jumbo frames support of up to 9Kb accelerating storage performance for backup and cloud applications
• Broad portfolio of access layer solutions, ranging from 8 ports Fast Ethernet to 50 ports Gigabit Ethernet

Ease of Use

• Fully functional Web console (GUI) for IT admins who prefer an easy to use graphical interface
• Placement outside the wiring closet (conference rooms, offices, class rooms, sales floor in retail stores, etc)
• For secure deployment in open areas , desktop versions come with a Wall Mount Kit with four brackets
• Select desktop versions also come with a set of strong magnets for mounting on any metal surface
• Automatic configuration with DHCP and BootP Auto Install
• Both the Switch Serial Number and Switch primary MAC address are reported by a simple "show" command in the CLI
• Automatic Voice over IP prioritization with Auto-VoIP
• An associated Voice VLAN can be easily configured with Auto-VoIP for further traffic isolation
• When deployed IP phones are LLDP-MED compliant, the Voice VLAN will use LLDP-MED to pass on the VLAN ID, 802.1P priority and DSCP values to the IP phones, accelerating convergent deployments
• DHCP/BootP innovative auto-installation including firmware and configuration file upload automation
• Dual firmware image and configuration file for updates with minimum service interruption
