For scalability and high availability, the switch supports stacking of up to four units, allowing you to manage multiple switches as a single, unified device. Security is a top priority, with features like Access Control Lists (ACLs), 802.1X port security, and IP Source Guard to protect your network. The switch is easy to manage through a user-friendly web-based interface or a command-line interface (CLI) and supports Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize critical network traffic. . This makes it an ideal solution for businesses that require a powerful, scalable, and secure network with extensive PoE+ capabilities.
