User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE?
The switch has 24 PoE+ ports with a total budget of 370W, allowing it to power multiple devices simultaneously. Each port can deliver up to 30W, supporting standards-compliant PoE devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. The actual number of devices depends on their individual power requirements, but the 370W budget provides substantial capacity for typical business deployments.
What types of uplink connections does this switch support?
This switch includes four SFP+ expansion slots that support 10 Gigabit connections using either fiber optic or direct-attach copper transceivers. This flexibility allows network administrators to choose the appropriate media for their specific distance and performance requirements, whether connecting to another switch across the building with fiber or to a nearby server with a DAC cable.
What does Layer 3 switching capability provide?
Layer 3 switching enables the switch to perform basic routing functions between VLANs and IP subnets without requiring a separate router. This improves network performance by keeping inter-VLAN traffic local to the switch, reduces latency, and allows for more sophisticated network segmentation and traffic management policies compared to Layer 2-only switches.
Is this switch manageable, and what management options are available?
Yes, this is a fully manageable switch supporting both command-line interface (CLI) and web-based management.
