High network reliability:

• Supported STP/RSTP/MSTP protocols ensure stable network operation.
• Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows to bundle several ports (with load-balancing) to form a single logical channel of a greater bandwidth.

Improved network efficiency and access control:

• Access control list ( ACL) prevents access to some network resources – by denying packets based on source and destination MAC address, IP address, TCP/UDP ports, VLAN ID.
• 802.1p protocol and port prioritization ensure smooth transmission of multimedia data.
• IGMP snooping allows to manage multicast traffic.
• Port mirroring allows easy monitoring of network traffic.

Easy administration of network security:

• Support for DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard.
• Central management and authentication (IEEE 802.1x Port-based) for administrators of TACACS+ and RADIUS servers.
• Improved network security through the use of GARP/GVRP protocols for extensive virtual networks operating on the basis of 802.1Q VLAN standard.
• Guest VLAN feature enables unauthorized systems access to specified resources only.
• For the protection of Ethernet network from external attacks, the switch supports SSH and SSL protocols ensuring protection of the transmitted data.

Network configuration and management:

• Support of SNMP v1/v2/v3 with 4 RMON groups (1/2/3/9), which enables the switches to provide valuable status information and send traps on abnormal events.
• Convenient choice of management interface: command line interface (CLI), telnet sessions, or management through a web browser.
• VCT function allows to directly determine the performance of the network wiring.
