You can also update firmware on your Instant On devices directly from the cloud whenever you want, from wherever you are.

Site Inventory And Topology View

The site inventory view shows all Instant On switches and access points (sold separately) on a single interface, and the topology view provides an intuitive structure of all Instant On devices deployed on the network — allowing you to quickly identify non-functioning devices and troubleshoot accordingly. Network issues can be easily diagnosed with connectivity tests like Ping and Traceroute.

Two-factor Authentication

As the number of security breaches continues to rise, 2FA has become an essential tool to mitigate risk against compromised login credentials. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), provides an additional layer of authentication, prevents attackers from remotely accessing the network, and secures sensitive customer information.

Built-in Security

Built-in security features protect your network from external threats by blocking malware attacks and keeping unauthorised users off the network. Network traffic can be filtered and access restricted based on MAC and IP address.

Multi-site Remote Management

The cloud-hosted web interface and mobile app make it easy to remotely manage multiple sites, multiple networks, distributed and multi-tenant deployments. Each site is logically separated and has its own configuration, statistics, guest portal, and admin read/write privileges. Instant On allows you to create three admin accounts per site, offering the option to lock accounts from accidental deletion.

Management

Cloud-based management

The cloud-hosted web interface and mobile app make it easy to manage networks with Instant On APs (sold separately) and switches.

Simple local web GUI management

For management of individual switches, the intuitive Web GUI makes management simple, even for non-technical users. Supports up to five (5) HTTP and HTTP Secure (HTTPS) sessions.

Secure web-management sessions with HTTPS

Encrypts and otherwise protects management sessions through HTTP Secure (HTTPS), which prevents snooping of sensitive management information. Regardless of whether the switch is managed from the local Web GUI or the cloud, data between the switch and the management interface is encrypted and secure.

Firmware update

Provides notification of the latest firmware with the ability to schedule update at a preferred time through Instant On mobile app and cloud-based web portal.

Configuration File Management

Allows the user to back up and restore the configuration settings in case of a firmware upgrade or to apply them to other switches on the network.

DHCP client mode

Allows the switch to be directly connected to a network, enabling plug-and-play operation. In the absence of a DHCP server on the network, the switch falls back to the default static address 192.168.1.1.

Locator LED

Allows users to set the locator LED on a specific switch to either turn on, blink, or turn off; simplifying troubleshooting by making it easy to locate a particular switch within a rack of similar switches.

Comprehensive LED display

Provides an at-a-glance view of status, activity, speed, and full-duplex operation with per-port indicators.

Management VLAN ID

Provides secure management access to the switch for administrators from within the specified VLAN.

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

Allows automatic synchronisation of the switch date and time for accurate tracking of system events and various schedules set by the administrator.

Quality Of Service (QoS)

Class of Service (CoS)

Provides time-sensitive packets (like VoIP and video) with priority over other traffic based on DSCP or IEEE 802.1p classification; packets are mapped to four hardware queues for more effective throughput.

Connectivity

Auto MDI/MDI-X

Adjusts automatically for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports.

Auto-negotiating capability

Supports half/full-duplex auto-negotiating capability on every port that doubles the throughput of every port.

Port Scheduling

Allows user to configure up to three (3) schedules to enable or disable individual ports on certain switch ports by selecting a particular time of the day or a periodic occurrence.

Switching

Flow control

Provides a flow-throttling mechanism propagated through the network to prevent packet loss at a congested node.

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

Supports 802.1D STP, 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for faster convergence. Provides redundant links while preventing network loops.

BPDU filtering

Drops BPDU packets when STP is enabled globally but disabled on a specific port.

Loop protection

Allows loop detection in the network for switches that do not run spanning tree, or on which STP feature is disabled.

IGMP v1, v2 snooping

IGMP snooping allows the switch to forward IPv4 multicast traffic intelligently. With IGMP snooping enabled, the switch forwards traffic only to ports that request the multicast traffic. This prevents the switch from broadcasting traffic to all ports and possibly affecting network performance.

Link aggregation

Groups together multiple ports of up to sixteen (16) trunks with a maximum of eight (8) ports per trunk automatically using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), or manually, to form a high-bandwidth connection to the network backbone that helps prevent traffic bottlenecks.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)

Advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network, facilitating easy mapping by network management applications.

LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery)

Defines a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN for automatic configuration of network devices such as IP phones.

VLAN support

Offers some of the benefits of both bridging and routing. VLANs partition the network into logical segments, which provide better administration, security, and multicast traffic management.

Port mirroring

Enables traffic on a port or VLAN to be simultaneously sent to a network analyser for monitoring.

Auto recovery

Allows ports to be placed in a suspended state when defined error conditions are met. Features supported by Auto Recovery are BPDU Guard, Storm Control, Port Security, Loop Protection and Link Flap Prevention.

Network Security

TPM-based security

Includes a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure hardware-based generation and storage of cryptographic keys used for secure connection to the Instant On cloud portal.

Automatic denial-of-service protection

Manages high-volume traffic and prevents denial-of-service (DoS) attacks against the network.

Global Storm Control

Protects against conditions where incoming packets flood the LAN, causing network performance degradation for unicast traffic with an unknown destination, and for broadcast and multicast traffic.

Performance And Efficiency

Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)

Compliant with 802.3az standard requirements to save energy during periods of low data activity.

Auto-port shut down

The switch saves power by automatically shutting down power to inactive ports. Power is restored on a port upon link detection.

Fanless operation

Fanless design making the switch ideal for silent operation environments.

Features Accessed Through Local Web-management Interface

Includes a quick start-up wizard which enable automatic configuring of the initial settings such as IP address, device information and system time.

Jumbo frame support

Supports up to 9216 bytes frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers.

User account management

Password strength checking and aging feature provides enhanced security to user account administration on the local web management interface. Password management further enhances the security so that only authorised users can access the switch’s web interface.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

Encrypts all HTTP traffic and secures access to the local browser-based management of the switch.

SCP and TFTP file transfer

Provides different mechanisms for secure file transfer through SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) or TFTP.

Dual image support

Provide independent primary and secondary software images for backup while upgrading.

SNMPv1, v2c (read only)
