Quality of Service (QoS)

Numerous QoS features ensure that traffic is prioritized properly to deliver the best possible user experience for real-time applications like voice and video along with bandwidth-intensive graphic/video file uploads and downloads. IGMP snooping limits IP multicast traffic to the ports that requested it, enabling the rest of the network to operate at peak efficiency.

Network security

Port authentication prompts end-users to provide a username and password before they are permitted to pass data. User access can also be controlled through MAC filtering, which allows network access only to authorized devices or workstations. Port mirroring enables you to monitor the type of traffic being transmitted on the network.

Network expansion

Linksys smart switches include features for quickly expanding and growing your network. Multiple high-bandwidth trunks between switches enhance availability and redundancy. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and storm control features help control planned or inadvertent cable loops, so you can confidently build a mesh of switches and quickly expand your network to support your growing workforce.
