ProSAFE® Intelligent Edge Managed Switches Data Sheet
M4100 series
Page 8 of 35
Modern access layer features highlights
System defaults automatically set per-port broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm control for typical, robust protection against DoS attacks and faulty clients which
can, with BYOD, oen create network and performance issues
IP Telephony administration is simplified with consistent Voice VLAN capabilities per the industry standards and automatic functions associated
Comprehensive set of "system utilities" and "Clear" commands help troubleshoot connectivity issues and restore various configurations to their factory defaults for
maximumadmineciency:traceroute(todiscovertheroutesthatpacketsactuallytakewhentravelingonahop-by-hopbasisandwithasynchronousresponse
when initiated from the CLI), clear dynamically learned MAC addresses, counters, IGMP snooping table entries from the Multicast forwarding database etc.

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) can be used to synchronize network resources and for adaptation of NTP, and can provide synchronized network timestamp
either in broadcast or unicast mode (SNTP client implemented over UDP - port 123)

Remote mirroring (RSPAN) can transport packets captured on an interface on a source switch across the network to a destination on a possibly dierent
destination switch

Time-based Layer 2/Layer 3-v4/Layer 3-v6/Layer 4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be binded to ports, Layer 2 interfaces, VLANs and LAGs (Link Aggregation
Groups or Port channel) for fast unauthorized data prevention and right granularity
Bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) Guard allows the network administrator to enforce the Spanning Tree (STP) domain borders and keep the active topology

• Up to 48 clients (802.1x) per port are supported, including the authentication of the users domain, in
order to facilitate convergent deployments: for instance when IP phones connect PCs on their bridge, IP
phones and PCs can authenticate on the same switch port but under dierent VLAN assignment policies
(Voice VLAN versus data VLAN)
