NTRODUCTION VERVIEW The SMCGS1610 and SMCGS2410 are the first available unmanaged switches that can be transformed into a smart switch with the use of a single button. DHCP prevention combined with loopback detection and prevention, improves the network environment and reduces network maintenance costs. The switches also provide DoS attack protection, minimizing virus attacks and increasing network uptime.
HAPTER Overview EATURES MART UTTON The SMCGS1610 and SMCGS2410 are the first available switches that use a single button to give your unmanaged switch smart switch capability. Figure 1: Push to Smart Button DHCP P REVENTION DHCP Prevention protects your company’s network DHCP Server. When the Smart button is pressed in, it enables a DHCP port restriction feature.
