Managed Switch Ruijie Networks RG-NBS5100-48GT4SFP L3 Gigabit Ethernet 24 Ports

The Ruijie Networks RG-NBS5100-48GT4SFP is a managed Layer 3 switch offering 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports and 4 SFP module slots. Designed for structured networks, it provides a 56 Gbit/s switching capacity and a MAC address table supporting up to 16,000 entries. The switch implements core networking standards to enable resilient switching and VLAN management while maintaining a compact, black chassis suitable for rack installation.

Advantages

This managed switch supports Layer 3 functionality and industry-standard protocols (IEEE 802.1D, 802.1s, 802.1w) to provide rapid convergence and flexible topology management. With 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 SFP uplink slots, it accommodates a mix of copper and fiber connections for diverse deployment scenarios. A 56 Gbit/s switching capacity and a 16,000-entry MAC address table allow the device to handle moderate to dense traffic patterns without introducing unnecessary complexity.

Suitable for

• Small to medium enterprise access layer switching
• Campus network edge with mixed copper and fiber links
• Office LANs requiring VLAN segmentation and L3 routing
• Wired device aggregation such as IP phones, desktops, and access points

How to use

Install the RG-NBS5100-48GT4SFP in a suitable rack or shelf and connect power according to the site’s electrical guidelines. Use the Gigabit RJ-45 ports for copper endpoints and insert SFP modules into the SFP slots for fiber uplinks where required. Access the management interface via the console port or web/CLI management methods supported by the device to configure VLANs, L3 interfaces, routing, and redundancy protocols. Apply appropriate IP addressing and security policies prior to placing the switch into production.

Recommendations

For stable operation, keep firmware up to date and follow Ruijie’s configuration guides for Layer 3 deployments. Use SFP modules that match the required fiber type and link distance, and segment traffic with VLANs to optimize MAC table utilization. Monitor port statistics and MAC address counts to ensure capacity remains within the device’s specifications.
