KEY BENEFITS
SECURES THE NETWORK
Essential security features provide user and device authentication, enforce
access control for switch management and enhance overall network
security to protect critical resources and information.
EMPOWERS APPLICATION CONVERGENCE
The Switch 4500 family combines high performance switching, QoS
and advanced traffic management features to help ensure essential
applications get the appropriate priority for efficient utilization of
network resources.
REDUCES DEPLOYMENT COSTS
Two Switch 4500 models provide Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE
provides electrical power and data connectivity over a single Ethernet
cable—resulting in significant cost savings when deploying devices
like IP phones, wireless access points and IP security cameras.
