FEATURES

ADVANCED NETWORK MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES
This switch comes equipped with powerful Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 static routing, allowing smooth communication between different VLANs without impacting performance. The Linksys 500 Series handles internal routing on its own, while your router focuses on external traffic and security, resulting in a more organized and efficient network.

INTEGRATED POWER OVER ETHERNET PLUS (PoE+)
With built-in PoE+, installation becomes easier and more cost-effective. Devices can be powered directly through the network cable, eliminating the need for additional electrical wiring or nearby outlets. The switch is also fully backward compatible with the 802.3af (PoE) standard.

ADVANCED TRAFFIC-HANDLING INTELLIGENCE
Traffic prioritization is managed through Layer 2 MAC and Layer 3 IP flow-based policies, along with rate-limiting controls. This ensures high-bandwidth, real-time traffic such as voice and video runs smoothly without slowing down other applications across the network.

ADVANCED NETWORK SECURITY FEATURES
A wide range of security protections keeps your network safe. Access Control Lists (ACLs) restrict unauthorized access and help safeguard against outside attacks. Features like DHCP Snooping, IP and MAC-Port Binding ensure data integrity, while IEEE 802.1X Port Security limits access to approved users only. Port Authentication and MAC-based Port Security add additional layers of verification before any data is allowed through.
