The ECS4100 series is ideal for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Multiple System Operators (MSOs) to provide home users with triple-play services and up to a Gigabit of bandwidth. The PoE function can be used to connect to WiFi APs , IP cameras, VoIP phones, and other powered devices. It is also an ideal Gigabit access switch for SMB, enterprise, and campus networks. The switch is packed with features that bring high availability, comprehensive security, robust multicast control, and advanced QoS to the network edge, while maintaining simple management. The switch also supports the most advanced IPv6 management, IPv6 security, and IPv6 multicast control in accordance with the growth of IPv6 deployment. ISPs can expand their services for home to business users by providing a more reliable and resilient network (ITU-T G.8032 ERPS), L2 VPNs, and advanced OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) functions to ensure service-level agreements.Key Features and Benefits | Performance and ScalabilityThe ECS4100 series is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2+ managed switch with 24/56/104/56 Gbps switching capacity. The switch delivers wire-speed switching performance on all Gigabit ports, taking full advantage of existing high-performance Gigabit CPEs, PCs,11n/ac Wi-Fi APs etc, significantly improving the responsiveness of applications and file transfer times.The four 1G SFP ports provide uplink flexibility, allowing the insertion of fiber or copper Gigabit transceivers, to create up to 4 Gbps high-speed uplinks to service provider, corporate, or campus networks, reducing bottlenecks and increasing the performance of the access network.Continuous AvailabilityThe IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol provides a loop-free network and redundant links to the core network with rapid convergence, to ensure faster recovery from failed links, enhancing overall network stability and reliability.The IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol runs STP per VLAN base, providing Layer 2 load sharing on redundant links up to 64 instances.The switch supports IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). It increases bandwidth by automatically aggregating several physical links together as a logical trunk and offers load balancing and fault tolerance for uplink connections.The switch supports G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching with the ability for the network to detect and recover from incidents without impacting users, meeting the most demanding quality and availability requirements. Rapid recovery time when problems do occur is as low as 50 ms.Reliability and Energy EfficiencyThe design of the switch incorporates high energy efficiency in order to reduce the impact on the environment. The Green Ethernet power-saving design reduce the power consumption.Enhanced SecurityPort security limits the total number of devices from using aswitch port and protects against MAC flooding attacks. IEEE 802.1X port-based or MAC-based access control ensures all users are authorized before being granted access to the network. When a user is authenticated, the VLAN, QoS and security policy are automatically applied the port where the user is connected, otherwise the port is grouped in a guest VLAN with limited access. DHCP snooping allows a switch to protect a network from rogue DHCP servers that offer invalid IP addresses. IP Source Guard prevents users from using IP addresses that were not assigned to them. Effectively reduces downtime with improved network performance Cascade to other network devices through the uplink port to expand your local area network Quickly and easily set up a wired network with 48 networking ports Useful for the multi-tenant unit and multi-business unit with Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limit Rack mounting enables you to organize wires & secure cables for professional installation Management capability provides control over setup and configuration of your network Up to 10x faster than standard Ethernet server connectivity while providing high-performance uplinks Twisted Pair media support ensures maximum convenience and great usability
