Linksys LGS318-UK

The Linksys LGS318 18-Port Business Smart Gigabit Switch delivers the management, security, speed, and quality service business networks demand. Numerous QoS features ensure that traffic is prioritised properly to deliver the best possible user experience, with IGMP snooping so your network can operate at peak efficiency. Advanced network security features secure networks through port authentication and MAC-based port security, with advanced DHCP snooping and IP-MAC binding functions to ensure network integrity and help prevent network attacks. This Linksys Smart Gigabit Switch also features Spanning Tree Protocol and Storm Control to easily expand your network to support your growing workforce.

Features:

• 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports
• 2 Gigabit SFP and RJ45 Combo Uplink Ports
• Easy configuration and management
• Proven performance and reliability
• Energy efficiency
• Network security
• IP telephony support
• IPv6 support
• limited lifetime warranty

• Quality of Service (QoS) 

  Numerous QoS features ensure that traffic is prioritised properly to deliver the best possible user experience for real-time applications like voice and video along with bandwidth-intensive graphic/video file uploads and downloads. IGMP snooping limits IP multicast traffic to the ports that requested it, enabling the rest of the network to operate at peak efficiency.

• Network security

  Unauthorised access to the network and mission-critical data is a constant concern. Linksys smart switches help secure networks through port authentication and MAC-based port security, requiring clients to authenticate themselves before any data is passed. Advanced DHCP snooping and IP-MAC binding functions ensure network integrity and help prevent network attacks.

• Network expansion

  Linksys smart switches include features for quickly expanding and growing your network. Multiple high-bandwidth trunks between switches enhance availability and redundancy. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and storm control features help control planned or inadvertent cable loops, so you can confidently build a mesh of switches and quickly expand your network to support your growing workforce.
