Managed Switch: TP-LINK TL-T2500G-10TS (TL-SG3210) 8xGE 2xSFP RACK

TP-LINK TL-SG3210 JetStream gigabit L2 managed switch has 8 Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and two 1000 Mbps SFP slots. It supports enterprise-level Quality of Service (L2 to L4) and rich layer 2 management features.

IP-MAC-Port-VID Binding, Port Security, Storm Control, DHCP Snooping and IP Source Guard functions protect against network attacks. The administrator can define some typical DoS attacks that will be easily detected, improving security levels. Access Control Lists (ACL, L2 to L4) feature restricts access to sensitive network resources by denying some packets, based on source and destination MAC address, IP address, TCP/UDP ports or even VLAN ID. Additionally, the switch supports 802.1X authentication, which is used in conjunction with a RADIUS server to get some authentication information before allowing access to the network. Guest VLAN function can provide access for non-802.1X clients to some specific network resources.

For better integration of voice, data and video services in the network, the switch applies rich QoS policies. Administrators can determine the priority of the traffic based on a variety of means including IP or MAC address, TCP or UDP port number, etc., to ensure that voice and video are always clear, smooth and jitter free.

The device supports advanced functions of layer 2 switches, including 802.1Q tag VLAN, Port Mirroring, STP/RSTP/MSTP protocols, Link Aggregation Control Protocol. The switch also offers features for network maintenance, such as Loop Back Detection and Cable Diagnostics. Another feature, IGMP snooping, provides the ability to switch multicast frames only to selected users, while the IGMP throttling & filtering restricts access to resources for individual users at the port level.

The switch is easy to use and manage. It supports both user-friendly, intuitive web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Command Line Interface (CLI). The administration traffic can be protected through SSL or SSH encryption. The support for SNMP (v1/2/3) and RMON enables the switch to provide valuable status information and send traps on abnormal events.
