FEATURES

Powerful PoE+ Performance for Business Applications

The Linksys Business LGS326MP PoE+ 26-Port Gigabit Smart Switch is built to deliver dependable, business-class networking. With 384 watts of dedicated PoE+ power, it simplifies installation by allowing your network cables to carry both data and power—no need for separate electrical wiring. This makes it ideal for powering high-demand devices such as surveillance cameras, door access control systems, ProAV equipment, wireless access points, video phones, and more.

Designed for Easy Network Expansion

For growing businesses that rely on multiple switches, this model offers excellent scalability. It supports IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, helping prevent network-damaging loops and ensuring stable connectivity. High-bandwidth trunks move data efficiently between switches, reducing congestion and improving reliability. With Storm Control, the switch also manages excessive traffic to help maintain uninterrupted service.

Smart QoS for Better Performance

With a robust set of QoS tools, the LGS326MP prioritizes network traffic intelligently. IGMP snooping helps direct multicast traffic only where it’s needed, freeing up bandwidth for the rest of the network. This ensures smooth performance for video streaming, VoIP calls, large file transfers, and other bandwidth-heavy tasks.

Advanced Security to Protect Your Network

Your network stays secure with advanced features such as port authentication, MAC-based port security, DHCP snooping, and IP-MAC binding—all aimed at preventing unauthorized access and maintaining data integrity.
