Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates at Layer 3, supporting advanced routing functions like static routing and policy-based routing for efficient traffic management between network segments. It features 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T ports that automatically negotiate speed and duplex settings, plus two dedicated SFP slots for 1000Base-X fiber connections. The switch does not include dedicated uplink ports, but the SFP slots serve as expansion uplinks for connecting to core switches or extending network reach via fiber.
The integrated 370W PoE+ budget provides IEEE 802.3at compliance, delivering up to 30W per port to powered devices. Management is handled through a web-based interface or command-line interface (CLI), offering features like SNMP, port mirroring, and link aggregation. The switch supports jumbo frames up to 9KB for improved performance with large data transfers, and it includes QoS prioritization to ensure low latency for voice and video traffic.

FAQ
How many PoE+ devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The switch has a total PoE+ budget of 370W, which can power up to 12 devices at the full 30W per port (IEEE 802.3at) or a larger number of lower-power devices like IP phones that use less wattage. The actual number depends on the power requirements of each connected device, as the switch dynamically allocates power based on demand.
Does this switch support fiber optic connections?
Yes, it includes two SFP (mini-GBIC) slots that support 1000Base-X fiber optic connections. You can insert compatible SFP transceivers to connect via multimode or single-mode fiber, allowing for network expansion over longer distances or in environments with electrical interference.
What Layer 3 features are available on this switch?
This switch supports Layer 3 static routing, allowing it to route traffic between different VLANs without an external router. It also includes policy-based routing for traffic engineering and supports routing protocols like RIP. These features enable basic network segmentation and improved traffic flow in small to medium networks.
Is this switch manageable, and what management options are provided?
Yes, it is fully manageable. You can configure it through a web-based graphical interface or a command-line interface (CLI). Management features include VLAN setup, QoS prioritization, port mirroring for monitoring, SNMP for network management systems, and link aggregation for increased bandwidth between switches.
What are the physical dimensions and rack mounting requirements?
The switch measures 1.73" (43.90 mm) in height, 17.42" (442.50 mm) in width, and 12.70" (322.50 mm) in depth, with a weight of 9.70 lb (4400 g). It is designed for 1U mounting in standard 19-inch racks and includes rack ears for secure installation. Ensure adequate airflow and clearance in your rack for proper cooling.
Can this switch be used in a stack or with uplink ports?
This switch does not support stacking, meaning it operates as a standalone unit. It does not have dedicated uplink ports, but the two SFP slots can be used as expansion uplinks to connect to other switches or network equipment via fiber, providing flexible uplink options for network design.
What uplink, SFP, fiber, or media support detail is listed?
The warranty or support detail listed is No, giving buyers a clearer picture of expected coverage after purchase.
