• PoE Scheduling
  Allows user to configure a specific day/time of the week (e.g., business hours) for Instant On switches to supply power to connected devices (e.g., surveillance cameras, access points etc.).
• Port Scheduling
  Allows user to configure up to three (3) schedules to enable or disable individual ports or PoE power delivery on certain switch ports by selecting a particular time of the day or a periodic occurrence.

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 forwards 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 applications.
• 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 better administration, security, and multicast traffic management.
• Port mirroring
  Enables traffic on a port or VLAN to be simultaneously 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
