FEATURES

ADVANCED NETWORK MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES
This switch is built for demanding business environments, offering advanced Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 static routing. It can route traffic between different VLANs internally without affecting performance, helping you maintain a smoother and more efficient network. With the Linksys 500 Series, internal routing is handled by the switch itself, freeing your router to manage external traffic and security without bottlenecks.

INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC HANDLING
Designed to keep your network running at peak efficiency, this model supports Layer 2 MAC and Layer 3 IP flow-based policies, along with rate-limiting controls. These features help prioritize high-bandwidth, real-time traffic—such as voice and video—while ensuring your business applications continue to perform reliably.

ROBUST NETWORK SECURITY
To keep your network protected, the switch includes powerful security tools like Access Control Lists (ACLs), which help block unauthorized access and outside attacks. Additional protections such as DHCP Snooping, IP and MAC-Port Binding, and IEEE 802.1X Port Security reinforce network integrity. Port Authentication and MAC-based Port Security ensure that only verified clients can send or receive data on your network.

FIBER-OPTIC EXPANSION OPTIONS
The switch also supports Gigabit SFP+ fiber-optic expansion ports, giving your business room to grow. These ports boost bandwidth, provide redundancy, and support scalability for data-heavy environments such as server farms and data centers. Mini-GIBC expansion ports further extend your options for adding fiber-optic or Gigabit Ethernet uplinks.
