Full IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) support on all ports enable businesses to grow and expand both LAN and WLANs with a minimum network disruption and without the need for power cable runs.

The switch is designed to support emerging LAN, VoIP, IP telephony, WLAN convergence applications today. Choice of QoS traffic prioritization with automatic NBX voice traffic prioritization, make sure mission-critical and real-time applications run effectively enabling the switch to operate in larger networks. The switch supports up to 255 Virtual LAN (VLANs): VLANs group users based on data exchange requirements to ensure optimal use of available bandwidth. Traffic monitoring helps keep the network running at optimum performance even during busy traffic periods. Wirespeed, non-blocking Layer 2 throughput and a switching capacity of up to 8.8 Gbps can handle bandwidth-intensive applications.

Twenty-four 10/100 ports and two dual-purpose Gigabit SFP slots can be used for high-performance computers, as well as high-demand servers; copper and SFP fiber connections can be mixed together for versatile operation. Ports can be trunked/aggregated, to create an ultra-high bandwidth pipe to the network core.

A user-friendly browser interface enables even network novices to easily configure and administer the network. Auto MDI/MDIX and autosensing ports eliminates the most common cabling errors and simplifies installation, as well as detecting and adjusting the speed of connected devices to optimize network performance.
