FEATURES

ROBUST POE+ CAPABILITIES FOR BUSINESS-CLASS APPLICATIONS
Designed to deliver professional-grade performance, the Linksys Business LGS308MP PoE+ Smart 8-Port Gigabit Network Switch provides the power, reliability, and scalability your business needs. This high-powered switch simplifies device installation and eliminates the need for separate electrical wiring through Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), which allows network cables to deliver both data and power. With a total of 130 watts dedicated to PoE+, the switch supplies significantly more power than standard PoE switches—making it ideal for powering surveillance cameras, access control systems, ProAV setups, access points, VoIP phones, and other power-demanding applications.

FACILITATES QUICK AND EASY NETWORK EXPANSION
Perfect for complex environments requiring multiple switches, Linksys Gigabit switches are designed to scale with your growing business. They ensure smooth and efficient network expansion by utilizing IEEE802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, which prevents network loops that could cause downtime. Multiple high-bandwidth trunks enable smooth data transfer between switches, reducing congestion and improving reliability. Additionally, Storm Control technology helps maintain consistent network performance by monitoring and suppressing excess traffic.

QUALITY OF SERVICE (QOS) FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE
The LGS308MP switch is equipped with a comprehensive set of QoS features that intelligently manage network traffic for an optimal user experience. IGMP snooping limits IP multicast traffic to requesting ports only, keeping network resources focused and efficient. This ensures smooth video streaming, VoIP communication, large file transfers, and other bandwidth-heavy tasks without slowing down the overall network.

ADVANCED SECURITY TO PROTECT YOUR NETWORK
Safeguard your critical business data with advanced security features. The LGS308MP switch employs port authentication and MAC-based security to ensure only authorized devices can access the network. DHCP snooping blocks data from untrusted sources, while IP-MAC binding enhances network integrity, protecting against potential attacks.
