Broadcom Chip and Versatile Connectivity

The S3410-48TS uses advanced Broadcom chips. This high-performance chip provides strong support for the core processing of the switch. The switching capacity of 176 Gbps and the forwarding rate of 132 Mpps ensure that the network will not be congested during peak hours, and the business operations of enterprises can remain smooth during multitasking. For small and medium-sized enterprises, network latency will be greatly reduced even when processing a large number of data packets at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of employees' daily work. At the same time, the switch is equipped with 48 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports, which are suitable for most office equipment and terminal access, such as computers, printers, and video surveillance equipment. With 10G SFP+ uplinks, users can easily connect devices to the upper network for high-speed data transmission.

Enhanced Reliability and Intelligent Cooling Design

The dual power supply redundancy and hot-swappable design increase the fault tolerance of the system. When one power supply fails or needs to be replaced, the other power supply can take over seamlessly, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted operation of the network and effectively reducing the risk of downtime caused by equipment failure. The built-in intelligent fan automatically adjusts its speed according to the operating temperature of the device, which not only ensures the heat dissipation effect of the device but also reduces power consumption and noise. For network equipment that runs for a long time, this design helps to extend the service life of the hardware, reduce the risk of failure caused by heat dissipation problems, and provide a quieter office environment.

A High Availability and Error-Free Network

Ensuring a robust and resilient network infrastructure, the S3410-48TS is designed to deliver both high availability and error-free network operation with a comprehensive suite of features. It supports VRRP to maintain uninterrupted routing services, safeguarding against potential router failures. Advanced traffic management is facilitated through 802.1p prioritization, IP ToS, traffic filtering, SP, and WRR, allowing for efficient and organized data flow. Diverse routing capabilities, including OSPFv2, BGP4, BGP4+, static routing, RIPng and OSPFv3 further ensure versatile and scalable network designs.

For error-free network configuration, the S3410-48TS incorporates STP, RSTP, and MSTP to prevent loops and maintain a stable network structure. Additionally, ERPS enables rapid recovery in ring topologies. Path MTU discovery optimizes data packet sizes across different networks, while multicast capabilities such as IGMP snooping, IGMP, PIM, and MSDP are essential for efficient bandwidth management and reducing unnecessary traffic. Collectively, these features ensure the network remains highly available and error-free, meeting modern enterprise demands with precision and reliability.

Secure and Simplified Access for Users and IoT

The S3410-48TS switch offers robust authentication and authorization functionalities by supporting RADIUS, TACACS+, and SSH protocols, ensuring that only authorized users and devices can access the network. It also supports hardware-based IP ACLs and DHCP snooping, providing high-performance, low-latency fine-grained traffic control and preventing malicious DHCP servers from distributing incorrect IP addresses. These features together construct a comprehensive security framework, simplifying access for users and IoT devices while ensuring network reliability and security.
