These switches deliver full wire-speed forwarding with up to 176 Gbps switching capacity and support stacking of up to eight units via 40 Gbps HDMI-based high-availability stacking—allowing administrators to manage up to 400 ports from a single IP address. Enhanced security is built in, with features such as 802.1x authentication, SSL/SSH encrypted management, SNMP host filtering, and MAC-based port locking to help protect against unauthorized access.

Specialized VLAN support—including Voice VLAN, Guest VLAN, and DHCP snooping—enhances deployment flexibility in VoIP-heavy environments. Power-saving capabilities like Energy Efficient Ethernet (802.3az) reduce power usage when ports are inactive or idle.
