The Linksys LGS528 Smart Managed 28-Port Gigabit Switch delivers advanced network management, high performance, and robust security for business-class environments. It supports Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 static routing for efficient VLAN communication and internal traffic management. QoS features prioritize real-time voice, video, and high-bandwidth applications, ensuring smooth performance without slowing other operations.
Security is enhanced with extensive Access Control Lists (ACLs), IEEE 802.1X port security, DHCP snooping, IP-MAC-Port binding, and port authentication to safeguard network integrity. The switch also supports fiber-optic expansion via two combo SFP+ ports, providing scalable uplink connectivity for server farms or data centers.
Technical specifications include a switching capacity of 56 Gbps, 16K MAC address table, jumbo frame support up to 9K, 128 MB memory, and EEE+ energy efficiency. Management options include HTTP/HTTPS, Telnet, SNMP, and RMON for monitoring and traffic analysis. The switch features VLAN support, IGMP snooping, HOL blocking prevention, port mirroring, and advanced QoS with four hardware queues and weighted round-robin scheduling, making it ideal for growing enterprise networks.
