Exploring the features of the Zyxel XMG1915-18EP, a 2.5-Gigabit PoE switch with a basic L3

We have a rather interesting class of L3 switches in front of us: multi-gigabit PoE models with a relatively small number of ports, an average PoE budget by modern standards, but 10-gigabit uplinks. They are interesting because the manufacturer has placed 2.5G PoE + 10G in a compact 9-inch rack housing with a silent fan, and such a switch can be installed at home, in a 1-room office, under a false ceiling or in narrow telecommunication cabinets. We have a rather interesting class of L3 ...

Testing the features of the L3 PoE switch IP-Com G5328P-24-410w

This is a 28-port switch, in which 4 ports are gigabit optics for Uplink, and the remaining 24 ports are 1-gigabit RJ45 PoE with a total power budget of 370 watts, and each of these ports can work both in 802.3af mode (up to 15.4 watts) and and in the mode 802.at (up to 30 watts). When integrating into the project, some features of this switch should be taken into account. Level 3 switches with PoE support are usually used to build enterprise Wi-Fi networks and video surveillance systems. And ...

Zyxel XGS2220-30HP - L3 Access switch for modern converged networks

This L3 layer switch has 4 x 10-Gigabit SFP+ slots, 1-Gigabit PoE+ ports for the main fleet of devices, NVR/VoIP optimized interface, support for Nebula cloud service and multi-Gigabit PoE+ ports for Wi-Fi 6 access points. That is, Zyxel has added a maximum of functions to make it the most versatile. In the Zyxel hierarchy, the XGS2220 series refers to access switches, that is, to the lowest level that serves end devices and access points. We are used to the fact that cheap maintenance-free ...

Review of the L3-level Gigabit IP-COM G5328X Switch with 10-Gigabit uplinks and cloud management

The IP-COM G5328X switch is designed for companies with a high network load and a developed multi-segment LAN. It combines layers and aggregations and cores, for connection to the backbone network or local data center-the company has 4 dedicated 10-gigabit SFP+ slots installed here, and for downstream connections - 24 RJ45 ports with speeds up to 1 Gbit/s, which can be combined into both static and dynamic channels. The core switch bears the main burden of packet forwarding, therefore, for ...

Review of IP-Com EW9 + EP9x2 Enterprise Mesh System

For tasks where you just need good Wi-Fi coverage and no one will bother with cabling, budget Mesh kits are used, such as those offered by IP-Com in the EW9 series of AC1200 11ac Wave 2 standard. With the growth of penetration of IoT devices, the demand for stable coverage from Wi-Fi systems also increases: it is clear that you cannot achieve a stable wireless connection from a smart light bulb or sensor, and it is easier to install an additional access point, sometimes even with reserve. ...
