Product Features
Technical Overview
The ES210X-M2 is a Layer 2 switch that supports IEEE 802.3bz (2.5GBase-T) and provides a maximum data transfer rate of 1.25 GB/s per port. It features 8 x 2.5G Base-T RJ45 ports and 2 x 10G SFP+ expansion slots for fiber uplinks, offering flexible connectivity for mixed-speed networks. The switch also supports 100/1000Base-T on the RJ45 ports for legacy devices.
Managed via an intuitive web interface or the Omada Cloud, the switch includes essential L2 features such as Quality of Service (QoS), IGMP Snooping, Link Aggregation, Port Mirroring, and Storm Control (Broadcast, Multicast, Unicast). Its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for open-office or noise-sensitive environments.
The switch complies with IEEE 802.1Q for VLANs and 802.1p for QoS, among other standards, ensuring interoperability with existing network infrastructure.
