This product is designed as a straightforward solution for companies looking to expand their network architecture. Layer 2 management features include SNMP, IGMP and VLAN configuration. Administrators can also manage individual ports by status, or implement link aggregation (“trunking”) for flexible load distribution or fail-safe redundancy purposes. These features are especially useful for optimizing multimedia applications such as online video streaming. The TEG-S811Fi can be configured via HyperTerminal, telnet, SNMP and any HTTP web browser. The device’s firmware can upgraded with a standard web browser, similar to many consumer level networking products.
