Managed L3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch PLANET SGS-6341-24P4X

The PLANET SGS-6341-24P4X is a rack-mountable managed Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet switch with 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at PoE and four SFP+ slots for 10Gbps uplinks. It provides a 128 Gbps switching fabric, a 16,000-entry MAC address table and stacked management capabilities, making it suitable for enterprise, data center or service provider networks that require centralized PoE power, high bandwidth and Layer 3 routing functions.

Advantages

The SGS-6341-24P4X combines high-density Gigabit switching with advanced Layer 3 routing (static, RIP, OSPF), full IPv6 management and comprehensive security features such as ACL, 802.1x and RADIUS. It delivers up to 370 W total PoE budget across 24 PoE+ ports, flexible SFP+/SFP dual-speed uplinks, non-blocking 128 Gbps throughput and IP stacking for centralized management of multiple units. Additional features include WRR traffic control, VLAN and QoS support, and web/SNMP/console management with SSH for secure remote access.

Suitable for

• Enterprise core or distribution layer switches
• Small to medium-sized data center aggregation and server uplinks
• VoIP deployments and high-density IP surveillance (PoE/PoE+ cameras)
• Service provider access networks and multi-tenant environments

Key specifications

• Ports: 24 × Gigabit RJ-45 (10/100/1000), 4 × SFP+ (10G/1G Dual-Speed)
• PoE: 24 × IEEE 802.3af/at capable ports, PoE budget up to 370 W
• Switching capacity: 128 Gbps non-blocking fabric
• MAC address table: 16,000 entries
• Routing: Layer 3 static routing, RIP, OSPF
• Management: Web GUI, SNMP, CLI (console/Telnet), SSH
• Security: ACL, 802.1x, RADIUS authentication
• Standards: Multiple IEEE standards including 802.1Q, 802.1p, 802.3ad, 802.3af/at, 802.3ae
• Form factor: 1U rack-mountable, weight ~4.5 kg

How to use

Install the SGS-6341-24P4X in a standard 19" rack using the included mounting kit and connect uplinks via SFP+/SFP modules according to required distance and speed. Connect edge devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones or access points to the Gigabit PoE ports; the switch will deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. Use the Web GUI, CLI or SNMP management tools to configure Layer 2 and Layer 3 settings, VLANs, PoE schedules, WRR traffic policies and security features. For multi-switch environments, enable IP stacking to manage up to 24 units from one IP address.

Recommendations

Plan PoE power allocation before deployment to ensure the 370 W budget meets connected device requirements; group high-power devices across redundant power feeds and schedule PoE ports when possible to conserve energy. Use SFP+ 10G modules for backbone uplinks to fully utilize the switch's 128 Gbps fabric and enable appropriate routing (RIP/OSPF or static) for inter-VLAN traffic to optimize performance.
