Cost-effective L2 switching with high-availability stacking
Why buy a regular switch when you can buy an Enterasys SecureStack™ for less? The SecureStack™ A2 stackable switch family deilvers cost-effective Layer 2 switching with embedded security support for 802.1x authentication and RFC 3580 VLAN quarantine. Advanced QoS capabilities deliver L2/L3/L4 classification, bandwidth flow control and traffic prioritization to support IP telephony (VoIP) and IP Multicast (IPMC) voice/video/data convergence applications. High-availability features include support for closed-loop stacking, redundant power, power over Ethernet (PoE), fault-tolerant management, rapid re-convergence (802.1w RSTP), and link-aggregation (802.3ad). Closed-loop stacking assures that a single switch or cable connection failure in the stack will not impact the overall stack operation.
Up to eight (8) SecureStack A2 switches can be supported in a single stack with one IP address for complete stack management. A single stack supports up to 384 10/100Mbps ports with 16 gigabit uplinks.
Every SecureStack comes with a limited lifetime warranty featuring next-day advance replacement.
