Intelligent

The GS108T provides cost-efficient solutions that enable SMB customers to better manage their network. Included are performance monitoring, port configuration, VLAN for traffic control, link aggregation for increased bandwidth, IGMP snooping for facilitating multicast applications, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization.

Advanced Quality of Service

Priority queuing ensures that high-priority traffic gets delivered efficiently, even during congestion from high-traffic bursts. Companies implementing network telephony or video conferencing, for example, need to be able to prioritize such voice and video traffic and other real-time applications over less latency-sensitive traffic to ensure reliability and quality. The ability to prioritize traffic ensures quality of latency-sensitive services and applications despite increasing traffic loads. The ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switch provides an extensive set of QoS features: 802.1p-based prioritization; layer 3-based prioritization; rate limiting.

Enhanced security

This Gigabit Smart Switch has advanced features that provide more robust security to SMBs. These include

802.1x for authentication and ACL filtering to permit or deny traffic based on MAC or IP addresses.
