Managed L3 Switch Zyxel XGS2220-54 48 Ports Gigabit Ethernet 216 Gbit/s

The Zyxel XGS2220-54 is a Nebula cloud-manageable Layer 3 enterprise switch designed for high-performance networks. This managed switch provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) RJ-45 ports and multiple 10G uplink options, with a switching capacity of 216 Gbit/s. The model supports NebulaFlex Pro for flexible local or cloud management and includes a 1-year Pro Pack for cloud features. It is suitable for deployments requiring high port density, 10G connectivity and advanced Layer 3 features.

Advantages

The XGS2220-54 combines 48 Gigabit access ports with multiple 10G uplinks, including 10G SFP+ and Multi-Gig RJ45 ports, to deliver scalable connectivity for converged networking. PoE model variants in the XGS2220 family offer high PoE budgets and mixed port power levels (up to 60 W on PoE++ ports and 30 W on PoE+ ports) to support modern WiFi 6/6E access points, VoIP phones, surveillance cameras and networked AV devices. NebulaFlex Pro enables easy switching between standalone and cloud-managed modes, simplifying installation and ongoing management via web UI or mobile app.

Suitable for

• Enterprise access layer with high port density
• Offices and campuses requiring 10G uplinks to servers or storage
• Environments needing reliable Layer 3 routing and segmentation
• Deployments with PoE devices such as APs, VoIP phones and cameras (PoE models)

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the provided mounting kit or place it on a stable surface. Connect access devices to the 48 Gigabit RJ-45 ports and use the 10G SFP+ or 10G Multi-Gig RJ45 uplinks for aggregation to servers or core switches. Access the device through the local web GUI, CLI or Nebula cloud management depending on your preferred mode. If using PoE variants, verify power budget and device PoE requirements before connecting PoE endpoints.

Recommendations

For typical deployments, reserve uplink capacity for server and storage connections and plan VLANs and Layer 3 routes for traffic separation. If using PoE models, choose the appropriate power-budget variant (400 W, 600 W or 960 W within the series) to ensure all connected PoE devices receive sufficient power.
