- Increases security by imposing consistent policy and user credentials across the network, regardless of where users connect
- Increases network efficiency by forwarding multicast traffic to designated hosts only, rather than flooding multicast packets across all ports
- Protects IT investment by future-proofing the network for the next generation of applications and extensions
- Prevent access layer attacks such as DHCP server attacks, ARP man-in-the-middle attacks and IP/MAC spoofing attacks by using IP-to-MAC binding information
- Increases security by isolating specific ports from communicating with other ports on the same switch
- Prevents an attacker from scanning a system to gain valuable services and information
- Provide flexibility in network configuration. Expand your network as you need while ensuring higher usability of network resources
An ideal companion to the rapidly emerging class of 10-gigabit servers, the NETGEAR ProSAFE 28-port Gigabit stackable smart switch is the industry's first smart switch with 10-gigabit connectivity - delivering maximum throughput in SMB networks for demanding tasks such as data replication and backup, virtualization, video on demand and high-volume transaction processing. At less than half the cost of a managed switch, the ProSAFE 28-port Gigabit Smart Switch provides 24 Gigabit ports for connecting devices to the network, along with four 10GE SFP+ ports for stacking or uplink to servers. As many as six switches can be stacked for a total of 300 network ports, with full redundancy for unsurpassed reliability. The GS728TXS offers a rich enterprise-class feature set, including advanced traffic management and security, yet can be easily configured and monitored through a web-based graphical user interface.
