@drbdh Hi,
in my opinion, ACL is another important function.
VLAN helps to separate the broadcast domain, ACL helps to control the data flow.

Hi,

S5300 is a carrier grade next-generation energy-saving gigabit switch. In carrier grade switches, energy saving is a major contributor. It supports EEE and device sleeping, providing customers with a green, easy-to-manage, easy-to-expand, and cost-effective gigabit to the desktop solution. Some more high level prominent features are:

1. nnovative Energy Saving Design
2. Comprehensivereliabilitymechanisms
3. Well-designed QoS policies and security mechanisms
4. Maintenance-freedesign and manageability
5. High scalability
6. Further it can support:

Neighbor Discovery (ND)
Path MTU (PMTU)
IPv6 ping, IPv6 tracert, and IPv6 Telnet
ACLs based on the source IPv6 address, destination IPv6 address, Layer 4 ports, or protocol type
MLD v1/v2 snooping
