Linksys LGS308MP - Description

Smart PoE+ Switch, 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet

High-Powered PoE+ Switch for Business-Class Performance:

Linksys LGS308MP Smart PoE+ 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is designed for businesses that require high efficiency, strong security, and easy scalability. Featuring 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), this smart switch eliminates the need for separate power cables by delivering up to 130W total PoE+ power directly through network lines. This makes it ideal for powering surveillance cameras, VoIP phones, access points, ProAV equipment, and other PoE-enabled devices.

Seamless and Scalable Network Expansion:

Perfect for growing networks, the LGS308MP supports IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol to prevent traffic loops and maintain smooth performance across multiple switches. With link aggregation and support for up to four groups of eight ports, this switch handles heavy data loads efficiently. Storm Control helps avoid service disruptions by suppressing broadcast, flooding, and multicast traffic spikes, ensuring high availability and performance across your network.

Optimized Network Traffic with Quality of Service (QoS):

Ensure top performance even during bandwidth-intensive activities like video streaming, file transfers, or VoIP calls. The switch uses IGMP Snooping, port-based and 802.1p prioritization, and IPv4/v6 DSCP for advanced QoS management. These features direct bandwidth to high-priority applications and users, preventing congestion and enabling a smooth, lag-free experience.

Advanced Security to Protect Business Data:

The LGS308MP offers a comprehensive suite of security features to defend against unauthorized access and network threats. With 802.1x Radius authentication, DHCP snooping, IP-MAC binding, and MAC-based port security, you get fine-grained control over who connects to your network. Port authentication ensures only trusted devices transfer data, helping maintain the integrity of your business systems.

Smart Management and Monitoring Tools:

This smart switch includes a range of management options, such as HTTP/HTTPS web interfaces, SNMP (v1/v2c/v3), Telnet, and dual image support for simplified firmware updates. Port mirroring and RMON enable network monitoring and diagnostics, giving administrators the tools to analyze and optimize performance in real-time.
