What is the switching performance?

Switching capacity is 176 Gbit/s with a forwarding rate of 100.2 Mpps and MAC address table of 16,000 entries. Full-duplex operation and IEEE standards like 802.1Q VLANs ensure efficient handling of enterprise traffic loads.

Does it support stacking?

Yes, it provides 40Gbps high-availability stacking for up to 8 switches via HDMI ports, with shared SFP+ uplinks. USB auto-configuration and single IP management simplify deployment and scaling for growing networks.

What management features are available?

Management includes web-based interface, CLI via Telnet/Serial, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, RMON, TFTP, Syslog, LLDP-MED, and SNTP. Dual firmware images and multiple config files support reliable operations and quick recovery.

What security and QoS capabilities does it offer?

Security includes port security, RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication, SSH/SSL, and strong passwords. QoS provides 8 priority queues per port with 802.1p/DSCP, Weighted Round Robin, and Strict Queue Scheduling for traffic prioritization.

Is it energy efficient and rack-mountable?

Yes, IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet reduces per-port power up to 50% when idle. Dual hot-swap power supplies ensure redundancy. It's a 1U rack-mountable chassis for standard 19-inch racks.
