Layer 2 Lite Switches are network switches designed to operate primarily at Layer 2 of the OSI model. They offer essential switching functionalities like MAC address table management, VLAN support, and basic quality of service (QoS).
Unlike full Layer 3 switches,
Layer 2 Lite switches typically lack advanced routing features, making them ideal for small to medium-sized networks that don’t require extensive inter-VLAN routing.
Grandstream, a renowned brand in
networking solutions, offers a range of Layer 2 Lite Switches that are efficient and cost-effective. These switches support features like:
VLAN Tagging: Grandstream switches allow network segmentation using IEEE 802.1Q VLANs to enhance security and traffic management.
QoS Management: Prioritization of critical traffic ensures smooth performance for voice, video, and other time-sensitive applications.
