Key Specs at a Glance

Non-Blocking Gigabit Performance

The ES-24-250W is engineered for non-blocking throughput, ensuring all 24 Gigabit ports can transmit data simultaneously at full line rate without packet loss. With a switching capacity of 52 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 38.69 Mpps, it handles demanding workloads such as video conferencing, VoIP, and high-volume file transfers without congestion.

Flexible PoE+ for Simplified Deployment

Equipped with 24 auto-sensing IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ ports, the switch automatically delivers power to compatible devices, eliminating the need for separate power adapters. This simplifies installation for IP phones, wireless APs, and IP cameras. For legacy 24V passive PoE devices, manual configuration is available through the EdgeSwitch interface.

Advanced Layer 2/Layer 3 Switching

Beyond basic switching, the ES-24-250W supports advanced Layer 2 protocols such as VLAN, Private VLAN, and Voice VLAN, alongside Layer 3 static routing and policy-based routing. Features like Link Aggregation, DHCP Snooping, and IGMP Snooping enhance network efficiency and security, making it suitable for both small offices and expanding enterprise environments.

Dual Uplink Options with Fiber Support

For network expansion, the switch includes two SFP ports supporting Gigabit fiber uplinks, providing high-speed, low-latency connections to core switches or servers. This ensures reliable backbone connectivity and future-proofs your network as bandwidth demands grow.
