Does the MS116GS require any configuration or drivers?
No. The MS116GS is a plug-and-play switch that works immediately upon connection. No software installation or configuration is needed.
What is isolation mode and how does it improve security?
Isolation mode allows you to separate client traffic with one click, preventing devices on different ports from communicating with each other. This increases security by enabling network segmentation without complex VLAN configuration.
