Powerful Security 
IFS NS3502-8P-2S offers comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing 
security to the edge. It can be used to restrict network access by denying packets based on source 
and destination IP address, TCP/UDP ports or defined typical network applications. Its protection 
mechanism also comprises of 802.1x port-based and MAC-based user and device authentication. 
With the private VLAN function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to ensure 
user privacy. The network administrators can now construct highly secured corporate networks 
with considerably less time and effort than before. The NS3502-8P-2S net Security also provides 
DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection functions to prevent IP snooping 
from attack and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address. The network administrators can 
now construct highly secured corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than 
before. 
Flexibility and Extension Solution 
The two mini-GBIC slots built in the NS3502-8P-2S support Dual-Speed, 100Base-FX and 
1000Base-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules, that means, the 
administrator now can flexibly choose the suitable SFP transceiver according to not only the 
transmission distance but also the transmission speed required. The distance can be extended 
from 550 meters (Multi-Mode fiber) up to above 10/50/70/120 kilometers (Single-Mode fiber or 
WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and 
distributions.   
 
Centralized Power Management for Gigabit Ethernet PoE Networking 
To fulfill the needs of higher power required PoE network applications with Gigabit speed 
transmission, IFS introduces new member ā NS3502-8P-2S, the 8-Port Gigabit High Power over 
Ethernet Managed Switch which features high performance Gigabit IEEE 802.3af PoE (Up to 
15.4W) and IEEE 802.3at High-Power PoE (Up to 30.8W) on all ports. By supporting reliable 
stacking technology and advanced networking features which optimize the installation and power 
management of network devices such as wireless access points (AP), Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, 
and security video cameras. The PoE capabilities also help to reduce deployment costs for 
network devices like the wireless AP as a result of freeing from restrictions of power outlet 
locations. Power and data switching are integrated into one unit and delivered over a single cable. 
It thus eliminates cost for additional AC wiring and reduces installation time.
