Robust Layer 2 Features
The IGS-4215-16T2S can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation,
802.1Q VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), loop and BPDU guard, IGMP snooping, and MLD
snooping. Via the link aggregation, the IGS-4215-16T2S allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple
ports such as an 8Gbps fat pipe, and supports fail-over as well. Also, the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is the Layer
2 protocol included to help discover basic information about neighboring devices on the local broadcast domain.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management
Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the IGS-4215-16T2S helps the SMBs to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest
investment as its network facilities need not be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 FTTx edge network is set up.
Efficient Traffic Control
The IGS-4215-16T2S is loaded with robust QoS features and powerful traffic management to enhance services to
business-class data, voice, and video solutions. The functionality includes broadcast/multicast/unicast storm control, per port
bandwidth control, 802.1p/CoS/IP DSCP QoS priority and remarking. It guarantees the best performance in VoIP and video
stream transmission, and empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.
