One of the most versatile edge switches from Edge-Core is the ES4308-PoE Gigabit Ethernet switch.
The ES4308-PoE is an 8 port 10/100/1000Mbps copper switch with 1 SFP Gigabit Ethernet slot for fiber optic connections. The switch has Layer 2 capabilities and has a
WebSmart management interface.
All copper ports support auto-negotiation of speed and detection of straight/crossover cable connections through the auto MDI/MDIX capability. All copper ports are Power-over-Ethernet ready, IEEE802.3af compatible. Switch can deliver 15.4W power for 4 ports or 7.5W if all 8 ports are used with the Power-Over-Ethernet feature. This makes the ES4308-PoE a perfect product for special applications like VoIP phone, IP surveillance camera or WiFi hot-spot developments.
Besides the priority control support, an FTTx project needs also VLAN capabilities. Sometimes VLAN is used to segregate different services to same customer, but most often, VLAN networks are useful in sharing a same fiber optic link to several customers which are in proximity of each other and under the standard copper cable coverage(MDU - appartments or condominiums, MHU and business centers do qualify under these particular FTTB deployments). The ES4308-PoE switch supports port based VLAN and IEEE 802.1q VLAN, rapid spanning tree and IGMP snooping. It is also able to handle Jumbo Packets up to 9.6K size.
Probably one of the most important features of ES4308-PoE are its impressive QoS capabilities like: bandwidth control per port, 802.1p class of service, WRR and Strict Priority functions and Storm Control.
The ES4308-PoE offers also different ways for remote management, like web interface and SNMP management.
