Data redundancy is the most important element of your network. Formerly Linksys Business Series, now Cisco Small Business Managed Switches, the SFE2000 Managed Switch plays a central role in keeping your data safe. It supports a wide assortment of features, including dual firmware images and redundant power configuration when using an external RPSU to maximize your system's availability. The switch's 24 Ethernet ports are geared for high throughput, and included quality of service (QoS) functionality prioritizes your applications for maximum performance. Security is equally important, as the SFE2000 authenticates clients prior to transmitting data and allows you to filter access based on the specific connected device. Additional features of the SFE2000 Ethernet Switch include: A nonblocking switching capacity of 12.8 Gbps Two additional gigabit SFP slots for network expansion Support for up to 256 port- and 802.1q-based VLANs
