• PROFINET and Modbus TCP protocols supported for monitoring and device management
• Ring Protocol MRP (IEC 62439-2) for <10ms recovery time
• STP/RSTP/MSTP for network redundancy
• TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) security services
• SSH, SNMPv3, and HTTPS secure management sessions
• IEEE 1588 V1 and V2 PTP for microsecond accuracy
• Protection of User Access Ports through IEEE 802.1x Authentication and Port Security
• Advanced protocols to optimize the performance and intelligence of the network: IGMP Snooping, LLDP-MED, GVRP, Voice VLANs, MSTP, GMRP, and IPv6 MLD Snooping
