LANCOM GS-3628XUP

Multi-Gigabit access switch with PoE++
For scenarios with data-intensive network components that need to get by without extensive electrical installations, this 28-port multi-Gigabit access switch with the latest IEEE 802.3bt Power over Ethernet standard is the perfect choice. 12 out of 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports support 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and thus form the necessary high-performance basis, e.g. for the operation of Wi-Fi 6E access points and other network components with high-performance requirements. Four additional SFP+ ports and basic Layer 3 functions such as static routing and DHCP make this an intelligent management device with numerous security features for small and medium-sized networks.

Highlights

High performance on 28 ports
The LANCOM GS-3628XUP is equipped with 12x 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 12x Gigabit Ethernet ports, and 4 SFP+ ports supporting transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps. In addition, with a data throughput of 164 Gbps on the backplane, it offers full performance even at high workloads. The multi-Gigabit access switch thus forms the powerful basis for modern network infrastructures in all industries and areas of application.

A high-performance basis for Wi-Fi 6E
Thanks to 12 high-performance 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports including PoE in accordance with IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++), the LANCOM GS-3628XUP is the ideal basis for integrating the new WLAN standard Wi-Fi 6E into modern infrastructures. This is because Wi-Fi 6E access points such as the new LANCOM LX-6500 with 4 streams and 3 bands each mean on the one hand increased performance requirements that exceed simple Gigabit Ethernet, and on the other hand, the power consumption of these access points exceeds the threshold of classic PoE+ with 30W for the first time.

Central power supply without additional electrical installation
As a powerful PoE switch, the LANCOM GS-3628XUP supplies connected PoE end devices without the need for additional power supplies or power cabling. It supports the Power over Ethernet standards IEEE 802.3at/af (PoE+) and IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++, Type 4) with up to 90W per port. Thanks to high power reserves with a total output of 740 watts, it is thus 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 tubes or touch screens, which can thus be operated via Power over Ethernet for the first time.

Advantages

Static routing for fast data exchange
The LANCOM GS-3628XUP supports the basic layer-3 function of static routing, shifting certain routing tasks from the router to the switch. The predefinition of network routes through one or more network segments enables faster data exchange, especially in the case of high internal data traffic, and reduces the load on the router. Freed-up router capacity is then additionally available for handling external data traffic. This increases the efficiency of the entire network.

Cloud-managed LAN
With the LANCOM Management Cloud, the LANCOM GS-3628XUP offers fast and easy network integration as well as automatic configuration assignment. Cloud-managed LAN replaces individual device configuration with holistic network orchestration and enables automatic VLAN assignment to the desired switch ports. This allows all configurations to be rolled out at the click of a mouse, making even more complex networking scenarios easy to administer.

DHCP server functionality
As a DHCP server, the switch can independently and automatically assign IP addresses to clients. The LANCOM GS-3628XUP supports this basic Layer 3 function and thus takes over the IP management of the connected network.

Configurable access control
The LANCOM GS-3628XUP ensures that no unauthorized clients gain access to the network. This is made possible by secure access control on all ports in accordance with IEEE 802.1X (port-based, single-, multi-, and MAC-based).

Secure remote management
Thanks to secure communication protocols such as SSH, SSL, and SNMPv3, the LANCOM GS-3628XUP enables professional remote management of the network. In addition, the switch supports the TACACS+ protocol for authentication, authorization, and accounting. This is an optimal solution that offers maximum security, especially for the management and monitoring of multi-site networks.

IPv6 and IPv4 support
Thanks to its dual-stack implementation, the LANCOM GS-3628XUP can be used in pure IPv4, pure IPv6, or mixed networks. Numerous applications such as SSL, SSH, Telnet, or TFTP can thus also be run over IPv6 networks. IPv6 features such as stateless autoconfiguration, neighbor device discovery, and MLD snooping round out the IPv6 features.
