- Network Admission Control (NAC): This feature ensures that devices connecting to the network comply with security policies and are free from malware or other security threats.
- Port Security: This feature restricts access to a switch port based on the MAC address of a connected device, preventing unauthorized access to the network.
- Virtual Private Networks (VPNs): The N2K-C2348UPQ4F switch supports VPNs, allowing remote users to securely connect to the network.
- IP Source Guard: This feature helps prevent IP address spoofing and protects against malicious attacks that rely on forged IP addresses.
- DHCP Snooping: This feature prevents unauthorized DHCP servers from distributing IP addresses, reducing the risk of rogue DHCP servers on the network.
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): The N2K-C2348UPQ4F switch supports STP, which helps prevent network loops and improves network stability and security.
