- 8-port security switch controlling up to 12 access points either connected directly to one of the 8 Ethernet ports or indirectly through a layer 2 or 3 network
Know your gear
The WLAN Security Switch 2360 is ideally suited for mid-size office sites or wiring closet deployments, controlling up to 12 access points either connected directly to one of the 8 Ethernet ports or indirectly through a layer 2 or 3 network. The WLAN Security Switch 2361 features a dual power supply that provides improved service resiliency for converged mobile applications.
Features and Benefits:
QoS Standards: Support including WMM, SVP, 802.1p and DiffServ for voice and multi-media traffic prioritization.
Seamless Roaming: Enables layer 2 and 3 roaming among all access points, even those controlled by other WLAN Security Switches.
Fast Roaming: User authentication information and associated policies are shared with other 2300 series switches to minimize delay and jitter while roaming.
Multicast Management: IGMP v1/v2 support and multicast membership binding for high-performance wireless multicast services.
User Load Balancing: Continually monitors user load and automatically redirects new users to alternative APs to deliver the best possible user performance.
Dynamic RF Management: Calculates optimal 802.11 channel assignments and radio power transmission levels for all associated APs and adapts to user load, interference, RF obstacles and jamming attacks.
User RF Optimization: Assimilates client RF data and usage patterns along with basic RF data from access points for improved RF tuning and user performance.
Resilient Design: Dual power supplies (WLAN Security Switch 2361), Multi-Link Trunking, active-standby architecture options, load balanced AAA and n+1 redundancy for access point connectivity eliminates single points of failure.
WAN Link Offload: To protect against overuse of limited WAN bandwidth, the switch offloads backend AAA servers of 802.1x/EAP processing and only backhauls data traffic that is destined to other sites.
WAN Link Failure Protection: In the event of a WAN link failure the switch can assume local AAA services to keep the WLAN service alive.
VPN and Firewall Compatible: The WLAN switch provides local control of access points and doesn’t require any reconfiguring of WAN routers, VPN gateways or firewalls.
AAA Offloading: Offloads back-end AAA servers by terminating and processing Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for 802.1X users including key generation and management functions.
