LANCOM GS-3528XUP

The LANCOM GS-3528XUP is equipped with 12x 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 SFP+ ports that support transmission rates of up to 10 Gbps. With a data throughput of 164 Gbps on the backplane, it offers full performance even under load. This makes the multi-Gigabit access switch a high-performance basis for modern network infrastructures in any industry or field of application.

Thanks to 12 high-performance 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports including PoE according to IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++), the LANCOM GS-3528XUP is the ideal basis for integrating the new Wi-Fi 6E standard into modern infrastructures. Because Wi-Fi 6E access points like the LANCOM LX-6500 with 4 streams and 3 bands each mean on the one hand increased performance requirements that exceed simple Gigabit Ethernet, on the other hand for the first time the power consumption of these access points exceeds the threshold of classic PoE+ with 30W.

The LANCOM GS-3528XUP is a high-performance PoE switch that directly powers PoE devices connected to it: there is no need of additional power supply units or cabling. It supports the Power over Ethernet standards IEEE 802.3at/af (PoE+) and IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++, Type 4) with up to 90 watts per port. Thanks to high power reserves with a total output of 740 watts, it is therefore ideal for efficient power supply of end devices with the highest energy requirements. In addition to Wi-Fi 6E access points, this also includes end devices such as lighting or touch screens that can be operated via Power over Ethernet for the first time.

The LANCOM GS-3528XUP supports the basic layer-3 feature static routing and thus the shift of certain routing tasks from the router to the switch. Administrator-predefined network routes, through one or multiple network segments, enable fast data transfer especially in scenarios with high data volumes and relieve the router accordingly. Newly available router capacities can then additionally be used to manage external data traffic. As a result, the entire network efficiency is increased.

The LANCOM GS-3528XUP offers fast and easy network integration and automatic configuration assignment with the LANCOM Management Cloud - without manual configuration. In this way, even complex networking scenarios are easy to administer. Cloud-managed LAN eliminates the need for a single device configuration for holistic network orchestration. In addition, automatic VLAN assignment to the desired switch ports is possible. The configurations can be coordinated with each other across locations and network architectures, and at the same time rolled out or updated at the click of a mouse.

As a DHCP server, the switch is able to independently and automatically assign IP addresses to clients. The LANCOM GS-3528XUP supports this basic layer-3 function and thus takes over the IP management of the connected network.

The LANCOM GS-3528XUP excludes rogue clients from gaining unauthorized access to the network. This is ensured by secured access control on all ports as per IEEE 802.1X (port-based, single-based, multi-based, and MAC-based).

Secure communication protocols such as SSH, SSL and SNMPv3 make the LANCOM GS-3528XUP ideal for professional remote network management. The switch also support the TACACS+ protocol for authentication, authorization, and accounting. This optimized solution promises maximum security for multi-site network management and monitoring.

Thanks to its dual-stack implementation, the LANCOM GS-3528XP operates in pure IPv4, pure IPv6 or in mixed networks. Applications such as SSL, SSH, Telnet or TFTP can continue to be operated on IPv6 networks. Supported IPv6 features includes stateless auto configuration, neighbor detection, and MLD snooping.
