Routing Information Protocol (RIP) protocol are the intra-domain (interior) routing protocol which is based on distance vector routing and it is used inside an autonomous system. |
OSPF v2/v3 |
OSPF is a link-state routing protocol. It is designed to be run internal to a single Autonomous System. Each OSPF router maintains an identical database describing the Autonomous System’s topology. From this database, a routing table is calculated by constructing a shortest-path tree. |

Port Security |
Locks MAC addresses to ports, and limits the number of learned MAC address |
IP Source Guard |
Prevents illegal IP address from accessing to specific port in the switch |
RADIUS/ TACACS+ |
Supports RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication. Switch as a client |
Storm Control |
Prevents traffic on a LAN from being disrupted by a broadcast, multicast, or unicast storm on a port |
DHCP Snooping |
A feature acts as a firewall between untrusted hosts and trusted DHCP servers |

Embedded RMON agent supports RMON groups 1,2,3,9 (history, statistics, alarms, and events) for enhanced traffic management, monitoring and analysis |
Port Mirroring |
Traffic on a port can be mirrored to another port for analysis with a network analyzer or RMON probe. Up to N-1 (N is Switch’s Ports) ports can be mirrored to single destination port. A single session is supported |
UPnP |
The Universal Plug and Play Forum, an industry group of companies working to enable device-to-device interoperability by promoting Universal Plug and Play |
