ROBUST POE+ CAPABILITIES FOR BUSINESS-CLASS APPLICATIONS

Built to deliver business-class performance, the Linksys Business LGS308MP PoE+ Smart 8-Port Gigabit Network Switch offers the efficiency, security, and scalability needed to support your growing business. This high-powered network switch dramatically streamlines installation of peripheral devices and eliminates the need for dedicated electrical wiring thanks to Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), which allows network cables to transfer power. With 130 total watts dedicated to PoE+, the smart network switch delivers substantially more power than ordinary PoE switches-making it ideal for supporting expansive surveillance cameras, door access control systems, ProAV systems, access points, video VoIP phones, and other demanding applications.

FACILITATES QUICK-AND-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 and 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 and improve availability. And thanks to Storm Control, the switches also help minimize loss of service by monitoring and suppressing traffic levels.

QUALITY OF SERVICE (QOS) FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

Equipped with numerous QoS 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, VoIP calls, high-volume file uploads, and other bandwidth-intensive tasks without worry of slowing down the network.

KEEPS NETWORK PROTECTED WITH ADVANCED SECURITY

The LGS308MP switch safeguards your network’s mission-critical data from unauthorized access using port authentication and MAC-based port security that require clients to authenticate themselves before any data is transferred. DHCP snooping filters out traffic from untrusted sources, and IP-MAC binding functions help promote overall network integrity to protect against attacks.
