Optimize Network Performance with bandwidth and packet control
The QSW-M2130P-2C2S26T provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) to boost network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.
| LACP |
VLAN |
QoS |
IGMP Snooping |
| Link Aggregation (LAG) combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure. |
Virtual Networks (VLAN) allows groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network. |
QoS (Quality of Service) helps prioritize bandwidth usage to optimize network resource allocation. |
IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage. |
Powerful security and system functions
The QSW-M2130P-2C2S26T has powerful security and system functions (including ACL, DoS Attack Prevention, RSTP and Flow Control) to help enhance network reliability with access controls, troubleshooting, loop prevention and avoiding packet loss.
| ACL |
DoS Attack Prevention |
RSTP |
Flow Control |
| Access Control List filters packets based on rules to offer firewall-like security protection. |
Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack prevention is a critical security feature designed to protect against malicious traffic that could exhaust system resources and disrupt network access for legitimate users. |
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, RSTP ensures a loop-free topology for Ethernet networks by blocking or forwarding traffic. |
Flow Control balances the traffic between a sender and a receiver to avoid network congestion. |
