Dynamically assign network traffic to a VLAN based on contents of the layer 4 header.
LLDP-MED
Dynamically configure LLDP-MED compatible endpoints with layer 2 settings, such as VLAN ID, QoS markings, and more to reduce administrative workload.
QoS – Traffic Shaping and Queueing
QoS – Traffic Shaping and Queueing Categorize high-priority traffic to ensure mission-critical data is prioritized in the event of network congestion.

David Bombal reviews the NVT Phybridge FLEX24-10G switch while addressing Ethernet myths. What’s the maximum distance of Ethernet? 100 meters? Can you use an Ethernet cable that only has 1 pair left? Lots of questions to answer!
Your teams rely on fast and reliable networks to work efficiently. With an ever-increasing focus on digital solutions, you need to make sure your network is prepared.
Your local area network will only continue to expand with more users, devices, and applications. A 10 Gigabit switch will ensure your network has enough bandwidth to support employee and customer needs
The overall and per-port cost of 10 Gigabit switches have dropped significantly in the past few years. Now is the perfect time to upgrade!
As a global leader in long reach Power over Ethernet technology, our products provide the most network design flexibility and freedom. Unlike other switches on the market, the FLEX24-10G switch can extend connectivity up to six-times farther than standard solutions (2,000ft/610m). This means less IDF closets to provide considerable cost savings and simple ongoing management. Having less network closets means switches are consolidated in fewer locations, improving port utilization, and decreasing the cost per-port.
Setting up and managing the network is quick, simple, and more cost-efficient than the alternatives, giving you budget flexibility. Will you allocate your network savings towards more devices, more applications, or other projects? The choice is yours.
The versatile FLEX24-10G G switch delivers 1GB to standard reach and 100MB to 2,000ft, eliminating the need for multiple devices, repeaters, injectors, or extenders. The FLEX 24 10 Gigabit switch provides flexibility and the freedom you need to deploy IP and IoT devices across your organization!
NVT Phybridge is a Cisco Certified Partner, which means the FLEX24-10G is fully compatible with your existing Cisco network. The FLEX24-10G Gigabit switch also features the same application experience as the current FLEX24 switch, making it even easier to deploy for those with previous experience with our FLEX line of products. The FLEX24-10G is ideal for any Greenfield or Brownfield project as it uses new or existing multi-pair UTP cabling.
The FLEX24-10G is a layer 3 managed switch, replacing the need for separate layer 2 and layer 3 devices. Historically, networks contain layer 2 switches to connect clients to the network and help segment the clients using VLANs. For devices on different networks to communicate, a layer 3 device is required (typically a router). A layer 3 switch contains both routing and switching technologies, reducing the need for separate layer 2 and layer 3 devices.
802.1x Port-Based Authentication provides an additional level of security for clients trying to gain access to the network. In an unprotected network, clients can gain access directly via Ethernet or wirelessly via Wi-Fi. 802.1x authentication occurs before a client has an IP address. A client is only given access to the network once it has passed 802.1x authentication. In the case of a workstation PC, the user will be prompted for a username and password, which is then checked against a RADIUS server located elsewhere on the network.
Access control lists are used to permit or deny network traffic based on administrator-configured rules. ACLs inspect network traffic based on content in the layer 2, layer 3, or layer 4 packet header. If a preconfigured condition is met, the traffic can be permitted, denied, redirected, or filtered to another interface. ACLs are an excellent way to prevent traffic in one area of the network from reaching another area.
The FLEX24-10G switch features a completely overhauled command line interface (CLI). The new CLI features several CLI levels where the scope of commands vary from level to level. Those familiar with the Cisco CLI should feel very comfortable transitioning to the FLEX24-10G. All the features you would expect are present, including tab completion, configurable user privilege levels, and a context-sensitive help system.
The CCMT tool allows multiple NVT Phybridge managed switches to be managed from a central application. The CCMT tool works on a client-server model, where switches are imported to the server and can then be managed from any client. Routine tasks, such as IP configuration, configuration file importing and exporting, and several more can be performed. Firmware upgrades can be performed in bulk, greatly reducing the administrative workload when several switches need to be upgraded. If multiple switches share a common configuration, the CCMT config templates can be utilized to apply a common config to several devices.
Protocol-based VLANs allow network traffic to be assigned a VLAN ID based on the contents of the layer 4 header. This allows administrators to separate different traffic types. For example, SSH traffic on an interface configured with a protocol-based VLAN can be assigned the management VLAN’s VLAN ID. Likewise, HTTP/HTTPS traffic can be assigned the data VLAN’s VLAN ID. Protocol-based VLANs allow network segmentation to be performed at the endpoint, increasing network security.
LLDP-MED is an extension of LLDP and operates between endpoints and the FLEX24-10G switch. LLDP-MED determines the capabilities of LLDP-MED compatible endpoints, most commonly IP phones, and applies a policy to the endpoint based on the endpoint’s requirements. LLDP-MED policies can apply attributes such as VLAN ID, QoS markings, DSCP values, and more to compatible endpoints. The use of LLDP-MED can greatly reduce administrator workload in environments with large amounts of endpoints.
Quality of Service (QoS) allows for priority levels to be assigned to network traffic so high priority traffic can be prioritized by the switch. The FLEX24-10G switch allows for QoS to be configured at both layer 2 and layer 3. QoS is extremely beneficial in environments running both VoIP systems and computer workstations. For example, QoS can be used to give VoIP traffic a higher priority than web traffic to ensure high call quality between parties.
