| Source: TRENDnet
TORRANCE, CA--(Marketwire - May 19, 2009) - TRENDnet, a best-in-class wired and
wireless networking hardware brand, today, at Interop Las Vegas, announces
powerful upgrades to TRENDnet's entire Web Smart Switch portfolio. New
supported features include Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), IEEE
802.1X port-based Network Access Control and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
Web Smart switches offer Layer 2 switch management functionality and an
intuitive Web-based management interface. As a viable alternative to fully
managed switches, Web Smart switches provide customers with many of the
features typically found in fully managed switches, without adding
complexity or additional costs. TRENDnet Web Smart switches supported IEEE
802.1Q VLAN, Asymmetric VLAN, Quality of Service (QoS) support, Internet
Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping, Trunking and Mirroring. This
feature set was significantly bolstered with the addition of SNMP, STP and
802.1X support.
Switch based SNMP support permits the integration of third party network
management and monitoring solutions, saving system administrators time and
resources. STP technology facilitates the design of a zero-downtime network
architecture in which a switching loop structure maintains network traffic
even when a switch fails. Enterprise based network security is also
supported with port based IEEE 802.1X technology. Designed to deliver
robust security, enhanced traffic management and network redundancy
TRENDnet Web Smart switches now offer even greater value and reliability at
a reduced price.
"TRENDnet's 8-port to 48-port Web Smart solutions now better accommodate
managed growth, support third party SNMP software and secure SMB networks
without the price tag and complexity of fully managed switches," stated
Sonny Su, Technology Director for TRENDnet. "Upgraded TRENDnet Web Smart
switches are currently shipping. Older existing switches can be upgraded by
downloading the firmware upgrade from our Website."
