Managed switch EXTREME 5320-24P-8XE — 24x Gigabit PoE (IEEE 802.3at), L2/L3, 208 Gbit/s, 10G support

The EXTREME 5320-24P-8XE is a managed L2/L3 switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) RJ-45 ports and Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3at). It offers a switching capacity of 208 Gbit/s, a MAC address table of 32,000 entries, 10G uplink support and PoE power for connected devices. Designed for business LANs, the switch supports centralized network management and high-throughput connectivity while the manufacturer estimates a product life cycle of 5 years with associated CO2 emissions data.

Advantages

The switch combines managed L2/L3 features with PoE support, enabling both traffic segmentation and power delivery over the same cables. With a 208 Gbit/s switching capacity and 10G uplink compatibility it handles high aggregate throughput in office or campus networks. The device’s 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports and a 32,000-entry MAC table provide a balance of port density and forwarding capacity for typical business deployments, and the compact weight (4 kg) simplifies rack installation and handling.

Suitable for

• Small to medium enterprise LANs
• IP telephony and PoE-powered wireless access points
• Edge aggregation switches in campus networks
• Environments requiring managed L2/L3 features and centralized control

How to use

Install the EXTREME 5320-24P-8XE in a standard equipment rack or on a stable surface, connect power and network uplinks to 10G-capable ports where higher throughput is required, and connect edge devices to the Gigabit RJ-45 PoE ports. Configure VLANs, routing, QoS and PoE settings through the switch’s management interface or centralized network management platform according to your network design. Monitor port usage, power budgets and system logs to ensure reliable operation.

Recommendations

To optimize PoE power distribution and overall performance, plan device placement and PoE budget before deployment, reserve 10G uplinks for aggregation points, and follow the manufacturer’s ventilation and ambient temperature guidelines. Consider the estimated life cycle emissions when planning refresh cycles and recycling procedures.
