This switch is well equipped with features like ACL (Access control List) on

based on IP, MAC and ports, and Port prioritization. One also gets an option for

creating VLAN's, which helps in maintaining two different isolated networks with

the same switch. All these features can be configured using its Web-based

management console. On the security front this switch provides you with an

option of authenticating users with the help of an external RADIUS server.

Installing this switch on the network was easy; just insert the CD which

comes along with and it will run a utility application, with the help of which

you can find this device on the network and then provide an IP address to it.

For checking the throughput of the switch, we placed the switch on an isolated

network and ran QCheck test. While transferring1000 KB payload from one machine

to another, this switch gave a TCP throughput of 533 Mbps with a response time

of 1ms which is a decent score. The max UDP throughput of the switch was 114

Mbps.
