Integrated Power over Ethernet Plus
Linksys Smart Gigabit PoE+ Switches support the latest 802.3at (PoE+) standard while offering 802.3af (PoE) standard backward compatibility. Power over Ethernet Plus integration eliminates the need for additional power cables and nearby power outlets, making installation simple and inexpensive while still allowing your network the potential for growth.   The ports on this switch are in two banks of 4-ports. PoE is available on all ports, but only one bank is capable of supplying 802.3at up to a maximum of 30W per port, or until the PoE budget is exhausted.
Quality of Service (QoS)
Numerous QoS features ensure that traffic is prioritised 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
Unauthorised access to the network and mission-critical data is a constant concern. Linksys smart switches help secure networks through port authentication and MAC-based port security, requiring clients to authenticate themselves before any data is passed. Advanced DHCP snooping and IP-MAC binding functions ensure network integrity and help prevent network attacks.
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.
