Description
ADVANCED TRAFFIC-HANDLING INTELLIGENCE
Layer 2 MAC and Layer 3 IP Flow-based Policies and Rate Limiting Control prioritize traffic, offering an ideal solution to manage and control real-time, high bandwidth, voice and video traffic without slowing down your other business applications.
ADVANCED NETWORK SECURITY FEATURES
Extensive Access Control Lists (ACLs) control and block portions of the network from unauthorized users and external network attacks, while DHCP Snooping, IP and MAC-Port Binding functions help ensure network integrity. IEEE 802.1X Port Security strictly limits access to specific segments of your network, and Port Authentication and MAC-based Port Security require clients to authenticate themselves before any data passes.
FIBER-OPTIC NETWORK EXPANSION SUPPORT
Additional Gigabit SFP+ Fiber-Optic port expansions provide a powerful combination of business scalability for any server farm and data center environment, and enhance high bandwidth demands while providing redundancy for fast and easy network growth. Mini Gigabit Interface Converter (mini-GIBC) expansion ports offer the option to add fiber-optic or Gigabit Ethernet uplink connectivity to these managed switches.
The innovative side connector of the ThinkPad Pro Docking Station, designed exclusively for ThinkPad notebooks, provides a driver-free way to connect conveniently and securely to a range of USB accessories and external displays, while rapid charging support and a mirrored power button make it easy to disconnect and go. Designed for large enterprise environments, the ThinkPad Pro Docking Station supports PXE book, wake on LAN, and MAC address pass-through, simplifying asset management for IT managers.
