[Unmanaged Switch] What are the four intelligent features of the ASUS QG-U1050 and QG-U1080 switches?
The ASUS QG-U1050 and QG-U1080 offer four intelligent modes, unlike traditional unmanaged switches. These modes can be activated using the piano-style toggle switch located on the front panel. Each mode adjusts how the switch behaves to optimize for different networking needs. Here are the detailed explanations of each mode.
Note: A restart of your Ethernet switch is required after changing the mode for the new settings to take effect.
QG-U1050 | |
| Mode | Explanation |
| Priority | Ports will be prioritized in the following order: Port 4 = Port 5 > Port 1 > Port 2 > Port 3. |
| Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) | EEE helps conserve energy when no data is being transmitted. |
| Port Isolation | Port 1 to 4 are isolated from each other and can only communicate with Port 5 (the uplink port). |
| Static Trunk (Aggregation) | Port 4 and 5 can be configured/aggregated to form a static trunk, offering enhanced bandwidth (up to 5G) and redundancy for improved network performance. |
QG-U1080 | |
| Mode | Explanation |
| Priority | Ports will be prioritized in the following order: Port 9 = Port 10 > Port 1 > Port 2 > Port 3 > Port 4 > Port 5 > Port 6 > Port 7 > Port 8. |
| Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) | EEE helps conserve energy when no data is being transmitted. |
| Port Isolation | Port 1 to 8 are isolated from each other and can only communicate with Port 9 and 10 (the uplink ports). |
| Static Trunk (Aggregation) | Port 9 and 10 can be configured/aggregated to form a static trunk, offering enhanced bandwidth (up to 20G) and redundancy for improved network performance. |
