Slim Specs Table

Power Every Device with 24 PoE+ Ports

This switch features 24 IEEE 802.3af/at compliant PoE+ ports delivering up to 30 W per port, with a total budget of 384 W. That means you can power wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones directly through Ethernet cables—eliminating the need for separate power adapters and reducing installation costs. The PoE budget is sufficient for most small business deployments where multiple devices need centralized power management.

Cloud-Managed Networking with Omada SDN

Omada’s Software-Defined Networking platform integrates switches, access points, and gateways under a single cloud interface. You get centralized management, real-time monitoring, and seamless firmware updates from anywhere. The system supports both on-premises and cloud controllers, making it scalable for growing networks in hospitality, education, retail, or office environments. All devices work together as one cohesive network, simplifying administration and reducing IT overhead.

Enterprise-Grade Security Features

Security is built-in with IP-MAC-Port-VID binding, port security, storm control, and DHCP snooping to protect against network threats. Access Control Lists (ACL, L2 to L4) restrict traffic based on MAC addresses, IP addresses, TCP/UDP ports, or VLAN IDs. 802.1X authentication works with RADIUS/Tacacs+ servers to grant network access only to users with valid credentials. An integrated list of common DoS attacks helps prevent malicious traffic before it impacts your network.

Advanced Quality of Service (QoS)

Voice and video traffic receive priority through QoS policies that can be configured based on IP address, MAC address, TCP/UDP ports, or VLAN. This ensures smooth streaming and clear calls even during peak network usage when bandwidth is limited. The switch supports multiple QoS mechanisms including 802.1p priority tagging and DSCP-based classification, giving you precise control over traffic prioritization.

Rich Layer 2 and Layer 2+ Features

The switch supports a complete set of L2 features including 802.1Q VLAN, port mirroring, STP/RSTP/MSTP, Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), and 802.3x flow control. Advanced IGMP snooping forwards multicast streams only to subscribed devices, reducing unnecessary network traffic. Static routing provides simple network segmentation for improved efficiency. With 16,000 MAC address entries and 4,000 VLANs, the switch handles complex network topologies with ease.

Check before you buy

• Confirm the 384 W PoE budget covers all your PoE devices’ power requirements
• Verify you have rack space for the 1U form factor (440 x 330 x 44 mm)
• Check your network infrastructure supports Gigabit Ethernet for optimal performance
• Ensure you have compatible Omada access points if planning full SDN deployment

Frequently Asked Questions
