Description
Routing and Switching Protocols
The SG110-16HP-NA Cisco Small Business 16-Ports PoE+ Unmanaged Layer 2 Switch is a Layer 2 switch, meaning it primarily performs switching functions and does not support routing protocols. As an unmanaged switch, it does not have a built-in management interface for configuring advanced routing or switching protocols.
It is able to perform basic switching functions such as forwarding packets based on their MAC addresses, and it also supports VLANs (Virtual LANs) which allows you to segment the network and limit broadcast traffic. Additionally, it supports Quality of Service (QoS) which allows you to prioritize traffic and ensure that critical traffic is given priority over less important traffic.
As it is a Layer 2 switch it does not support routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP and EIGRP. If you need routing capabilities, you may want to consider a Layer 3 switch or a router.
Security and Management
The SG110-16HP-NA Cisco Small Business 16-Ports PoE+ Unmanaged Layer 2 Switch is an unmanaged switch, meaning it does not have a built-in management interface for configuring advanced security or management features. However, it still have some basic security features that can be configured to protect your network.
Security features:
- IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication: This feature can be used to control access to the switch and limit network access to authorized devices.
- DHCP snooping: This feature can help prevent rogue DHCP servers from providing incorrect IP address information to devices on the network.
- VLANs (Virtual LANs): VLANs can be used to segment the network and limit broadcast traffic.
- Quality of Service (QoS): QoS can be used to prioritize traffic and ensure that critical traffic is given priority over less important traffic.
Management features:
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) : SNMP can be used to monitor and manage the switch remotely.
- Port mirroring: Port mirroring allows you to copy traffic from one port to another for monitoring and analysis purposes.
- Link aggregation: Link aggregation allows you to bundle multiple ports together to create a single, high-bandwidth link.
Quality of Service (QoS) Capabilities
The SG110-16HP-NA Cisco Small Business 16-Ports PoE+ Unmanaged Layer 2 Switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) to allow you to prioritize traffic and ensure that critical traffic is given priority over less important traffic. The QoS capabilities of the switch include:
- Traffic classification: The switch can classify traffic based on various criteria such as IP address, port number, and VLAN.
- Traffic prioritization: The switch can assign different priority levels to different types of traffic, such as voice, video, and data.
- Congestion management: The switch can handle congestion by using techniques such as buffering, dropping, and shaping.
The switch supports a variety of QoS mechanisms such as:
- Priority queuing: This allows you to assign priority to different types of traffic, such as voice and video, to ensure that they are transmitted with minimal delay.
- Weighted Round Robin (WRR): This is used to distribute bandwidth among different traffic classes.
- Strict Priority Queuing (SPQ): This is used to ensure that high-priority traffic is always transmitted before low-priority traffic.
