Enterasys Networks Enterasys D2 D2G124-12

The Enterasys D2 provides 12 ports of Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity in 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 with integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) options, support for redundant power and 2 Small Form Factor Pluggable fiber-optic transceivers (SFP) for uplink connectivity. The extremely quiet design makes this switch ideal for placement in classrooms, conference rooms and other small workgroup areas. LEDs on the front, back and top of the switch provide very flexible mounting options.

The D2 comes ready to support the QoS priority and security needs of converged voice, video and data networks. All this while ensuring only the right users have access to the right information from the right place at the right time for compliance purposes.

The D2 inspects and classifies incoming traffic; discovers attached users, applications and devices; authenticates them using 802.1x, Web and/or MAC multi-user authentication; then enforces priority and security policies by making the filtering, forwarding or rate limiting decision.

The D2 is integrated with the Enterasys Secure Networks architecture to offer granular control by user and application over priority and security parameters, while enabling full user mobility. The privileges for a user or device are enforced dynamically based on authentication results regardless of wired or wireless connectivity. The end result is an easier way to manage the networked infrastructure as an integrated system. This holistic approach leveraging Enterasys NetSight centralized visibility and control management software avoids the need to manually reconfigure on a device-by-device basis every time there is a move, add or change. Define the policies once, and Enterasys keeps up with all the mobility, expansion and modification automatically.
