Multi-Gig vs 5-speed, what is the difference?
MULTI-GIG PORT: intelligent port that automatically adapts to the speed required and can provide 100M / 1G and 2.5G and/or 5G connectivity (NBase-T standard)
5-SPEED PORT: intelligent port that automatically adapts to the speed required and can provide either one of the 5 networking speeds: 100M /1G / 2.5G / 5G or 10G.
Give the speed that your devices need

- Advanced QoS (Quality of Service) with L2/ L3/L4 awareness and 8 priority queues
- Essential IPv4 and IPv6 L3 static routing (no resiliency, no load balancing)
- Private VLAN with dynamic VLAN assignment
- IGMP and MLD snooping
- Advanced Security IPv6 for management, QoS and ACLD
- HCP L2 relay
Fully Managed
Premium management of advanced services (advanced QoS, L3 routing).
