The ES-2108 Managed Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch Series is specially designed for small workgroup environments. Fan-less design eliminates annoying noise, which makes this unit suitable for noise-intolerant environments. This switch is equipped with a non-blocking 5.6 Gbps switching architecture for wire-speed transmission capability. Besides a default 8 10/100Mbps port, ES-2108-G features one dual personality Gigabit upper link port for flexible deployment and long-range connectivity.
ZyXEL ES-2108 Series is designed to serve diverse applications in various networking environments. For Quality of Service applications, the ES-2108 series comes with four priority queues per port for different types of traffic. In addition, DSCP is supported to realize an end-to-end QoS environment. For IP multicasting applications, ES-2108 series features IGMP snooping to optimize service quality. Also in bandwidth management, ES-2108 Series can support increments of 64Kbps to fulfill bandwidth differentiation.
The ZyXEL ES-2108 Series features VLAN function to secure your network: With 802.1Q tagged VLAN and port-based VLAN. With 4K PVID, you enjoy freedom in VLAN management. In addition to MAC filtering, MAC freezing and Specific MAC forwarding, the ES-2108 Series allows the network administrator to set security policy based on device MAC addresses.
