Managed Switch, 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet + 4 Port SFP+

High-Performance Managed Switch for Growing Networks:

Linksys LGS328C Managed Gigabit Switch is designed to meet the demands of modern business networks. With 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 10G SFP+ uplink ports, it offers a robust, scalable solution for high-performance connectivity. Whether you're expanding your office network or creating a backbone infrastructure, this switch provides the flexibility and speed your business needs to thrive.

Gigabit Speeds and 10G Uplink Flexibility:

Equipped with 24x 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and 4x 10G SFP+ uplinks, the LGS328C enables lightning-fast data transfer and seamless integration with other high-speed network components. The 128 Gbps switching capacity and 95.23 Mpps forwarding rate ensure smooth and uninterrupted traffic flow, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as VoIP, video streaming, and large file transfers.

Advanced Security Features for Network Protection:

Security is paramount in today’s connected world. The LGS328C supports 802.1x Radius authentication, IP-MAC binding, port security, and DHCP snooping to prevent unauthorized access and attacks. With port isolation and DOS attack prevention, this switch helps maintain the integrity and confidentiality of your network.

Quality of Service (QoS) for Optimized Performance:

The switch includes comprehensive QoS capabilities, including 8 hardware queues, 802.1p priority, and DSCP-based traffic classification. These features prioritize critical data such as voice, video, and application traffic, ensuring low latency and a consistent user experience, even under heavy network loads.

Flexible VLAN and Multicast Management:

With support for 256 active VLANs across a range of 4,096, the LGS328C enables granular traffic segmentation for better security and performance. Auto Voice VLAN and Guest VLAN features streamline setup for voice and guest networks. IGMP snooping (v1/v2/v3) manages multicast traffic efficiently, directing streams only to requesting ports and conserving bandwidth.

Static Routing and Link Aggregation Support:

The LGS328C supports IPv4 and IPv6 static routing, offering 63 and 21 route entries respectively. This feature enables inter-VLAN routing without the need for a dedicated router, improving efficiency. IEEE 802.3ad LACP provides link aggregation with up to 8 groups of 8 ports, enhancing redundancy and bandwidth availability between switches.

Easy Management and Monitoring Tools:

This switch provides multiple management interfaces including HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP (v1, v2c, v3), and console access. With features like dual image support, system logs, TFTP backup, and remote monitoring (RMON 1, 2, 3, 9), network administrators can manage, troubleshoot, and maintain performance easily.

Energy Efficient and Compact Design:

Designed with Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and storm control, the LGS328C minimizes power usage and controls network flooding. Its compact 330 x 230 x 44 mm metal housing, combined with a lightweight 1.989 kg build, makes it ideal for both desktop and rack-mount setups. The switch operates within 0–45°C and supports 10 to 90% RH humidity, ensuring dependable performance in diverse environments.
