H All, Can anyone help with the following... I have a HDBASET device connected to this switch and it operates at GB speed as per vendor, passing audio/video, full HD and 4k/2k. Despite this, ...
Hello NGSC101Usr,
Yes, that is true however this switch it has some limitation compared to the Layer 2+ and Layer 3 models. By default, it is set to Auto for 1GB and all other options are only for lower speeds. I believe this is by design. It can be used on a VPN network, yes. On its own it does NOT have a VPN capability, remember that this is only a ProSafe Plus switch and not a firewall/router.
Thanks,
Hi JohnRo,
Thanks for the reply.
The model number is as previously specified, I'm not aware of any other designation. This model does have VPN ability as I have this set up now, which is why I enquired about broadcast settings, amongst other things.
Presumably, from what you said, I cannot "hard set" a 1GB setting. Why are there manual settings for all other speeds apart from the 1GB speed?
Thanks.
