8 ports. More possibilities.
The SmartDesk NetCore N8-8500 is an eight-port x86 network appliance powered by a 6-core Intel Core i5-8500 with dual-slot DDR4 memory, for system integrators, ISPs and IT teams. Eight physical LAN interfaces (ETH0–ETH7) can each be given their own role through software — dual WAN, staff LAN, guest Wi-Fi, IoT, DMZ, servers or a lab network — making it a strong base for firewalls, VPN gateways, multi-WAN routers and network segmentation in larger offices, branches and campuses.
