Switching
Flow control
Provides a flow
-throttling mechanism propagated through the network to prevent packet loss at a congested node.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Supports 802.1D STP, 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for faster convergence. Provides redundant links while
preventing network loops.
BPDU filtering
Drops BPDU packets when STP is enabled globally but disabled on a specific port.
Loop protection
Allows loop detection in the network for switches that do not run spanning tree, or on which STP feature is disabled.
IGMP v1, v2 snooping
IGMP snooping allows the switch to forward IPv4 multicast traffic intelligently. With IGMP snooping enabled, the switch forwa
rds
traffic only to ports that request the multicast traffic. This prevents the switch from broadcasting traffic to all ports and
possibly
affecting network performance.
Link aggregation
Groups together multiple ports of up to 16 trunks with a maximum of eight (8) ports per trunk automatically using Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), or manually, to form a high
-bandwidth connection to the network backbone that helps
prevent traffic bottlenecks.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
Advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network, facilitating easy mapping by network
management application
s.
LLDP
-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery)
Defines a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN for automatic configuration of
network devices such as IP phones.
VLAN support
Offers some of the benefits of both bridging and routing. VLANs partition the network into logical segments, which provide be
tter
administration, security, and multicast traffic management.
Port mirroring
Enables traffic on a port or VLAN to be simultan
eously sent to a network analyzer for monitoring.
Auto recovery
Allows ports to be placed in a suspended state when defined error conditions are met. Features supported by Auto Recovery are
BPDU Guard, Storm Control, Port Security, Loop Protection and Link Flap Prevention.
Network Security
TPM
-based security
Includes a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure hardware
-based generation and storage of cryptographic keys used for
secure connection to the Instant On cloud portal.
Automatic denial
-of-service protection
Manages high
-volume traffic and prevents denial-of-service (DoS) attacks against the network.
Global Storm Control
Protects against conditions where incoming packets flood the LAN, causing network performance degradation for unicast traffic
with an unknown destination, and for broadcast and multicast traffic.
