Layer 2 Managed Switches
MOXA Layer 2 Managed Switches Overview
Moxa Layer 2 Managed Switches are advanced industrial Ethernet switches designed to strengthen
industrial network infrastructure with secure, reliable, and high-performance
connectivity. These Ethernet switches are designed for rugged environments with
demanding requirements, including oil and gas, water and wastewater, railway
transportation, marine, factory automation, power utility, road transportation,
mining, and IP surveillance. A Layer 2 managed switch offers control and
monitoring of network traffic through features such as VLANs, QoS, and port
security, allowing for network segmentation, prioritization of critical data,
and protection of sensitive information. The primary difference between managed
and unmanaged switches is control and flexibility: Moxa Layer 2 Managed Switches provide a level of configuration, redundancy, and security that
unmanaged switches do not. These switches have redundant power supplies and
ring protocols to further minimize outages and continue operations. The Layer 2 managed switch price is a reflection of its durability, control, and IEC
62443 cybersecurity features, which are practical long-term investments for the
building of reliable and efficient industrial networks.
