VPN Support for Remote Access

The Cisco GLC-TE works seamlessly with VPN protocols, enabling secure remote access to the network, which is crucial for businesses with remote or hybrid workforces.

Network Monitoring

By integrating Cisco GLC-TE into your network infrastructure, you can monitor network traffic for potential security threats and take action before issues arise.

Best Practice

How It Maximizes Performance and Security

Use Quality Copper Cables

Ensure you’re using high-quality Cat5 cables to maintain the signal integrity and ensure high performance over long distances (up to 100m).

Keep the Transceiver Clean

Regularly inspect and clean the transceiver to avoid dust or debris that could interfere with data transmission or cause hardware failure.

Monitor Network Traffic

Use network management tools to monitor traffic throughput and ensure that GLC-TE is operating at its full potential.

Enable VLANs

Use Virtual LANs (VLANs) to segment traffic efficiently, ensuring that critical applications have priority without congestion.

Ensure Firmware Is Updated

Keep the Cisco GLC-TE’s firmware up to date for enhanced security and to ensure compatibility with newer network technologies.

Use Managed Switches

Pair the GLC-TE transceiver with managed switches to enable advanced security features like port-based access control and traffic monitoring.
