Description
Quickly grow your home or small office's network with the LGB408A-R2 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Network Switch from Black Box. With eight Gigabit-speed Ethernet ports, you can connect wired devices such as computers, servers, and storage arrays to your network. With its plug and play design, you can integrate this switch into your network without any complicated configuration. With its metal chassis and fanless design, the LGB408A-R2 operates quietly from your desktop or rack system while delivering smooth data transfers with a 1.488 Mpps forwarding rate.Easy Management Simply access a switch via your Web browser and log on to monitor, configure, and control each port's activity. It also supports SNMP V1/V2c. In addition, the switch supports Quality of Service (QoS), port mirroring, and tag- and port-based VLAN.High Efficiency This switch not only supports Layer 2 802.1p Priority Queue control, but it also provides enhanced QoS support for real-time applications like Voice over IP (VoIP). And it supports Layer 4 TCP/UDP port and ToS classification.Port Mirroring Port mirroring copies traffic from one specific port to a second target port. This mechanism enables you to track network errors or abnormal packet transmissions without interrupting the flow of data. All ports on the switch are capable of port mirroring.Smooth Traffic You can use VLAN to isolate traffic between different users and thus provide better security. Plus VLAN enables you to confine the broadcast traffic to the same VLAN broadcast domain to boost network performance. IGMP V1/V2 snooping limits bandwidth-intensive multicast traffic to only the requesters.Enhanced Performance The switch enables you to combine ports to create a multilink, load-sharing trunk. Port trunks are useful for switch-to-switch cascading, which provides very fast, full-duplex speeds for high-volume communications. All ports are autosensing for speed and auto-negotiating for duplex. The switch's Auto MDI/MDI-X feature means you never need a crossover cable. Furthermore, the switch supports IEEE 802.x flow control for full-duplex mode and collision-based backpressure for half-duplex mode.
