Access Point AP21 and Smart Switch

The Instant On AP21 works seamlessly with a smart switch to optimize and manage network traffic in small and medium-sized business environments. Here's how they function together:

Power and Connectivity

The AP21 can be powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) when connected to a smart switch that supports PoE. This eliminates the need for separate power cables, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.

Network Segmentation

When paired with a smart switch, the AP21 can support VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). This allows you to segment your network traffic into different groups, such as separating guest users from employees, ensuring that sensitive business data remains secure.

Traffic Prioritization

Smart switches often feature Quality of Service (QoS) settings, which allow you to prioritize certain types of traffic, such as video conferencing or VoIP. The AP21 works with these settings to ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth, improving overall network performance.

Centralized Management

The AP21 can be managed alongside smart switches through the Instant On app or web portal. This provides a centralized view of both your wireless and wired networks, making it easier to monitor performance, manage devices, and apply security policies.

Scalability

As your network grows, the combination of the AP21 and a smart switch provides the flexibility to add more access points and wired connections without compromising performance. This scalable setup is ideal for expanding businesses.

Enhanced Security

Together, the AP21 and smart switch provide robust security features, such as MAC filtering and 802.1X authentication, to ensure that only authorized devices can access your network. This collaboration helps maintain a secure and efficient network environment.
