TP-Link Omada 28-Port Gigabit L2+ Managed Switch with 24-Port PoE+

JetStream 28-Port Gigabit L2 Managed Switch with 24-Port PoE+ provides a compact, rack-ready solution for wired networks that require both high-speed connections and power delivery over Ethernet. With 24 dedicated 802.3af/at PoE+ ports supporting a total budget of up to 384 W, the switch powers devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras and IP phones while carrying data on the same cable. Integrated with the Omada Software-Defined Networking (SDN) platform, the switch enables centralized cloud management of access points, switches and gateways for unified wired and wireless network control.

Advantages

The switch combines PoE+ power and Gigabit switching in a single unit, reducing cabling and infrastructure costs for small and medium deployments. Omada SDN provides centralized cloud access and scalability across multiple sites. Security functions such as IP-MAC-Port-VID binding, port security, DHCP snooping and ACLs help protect against common threats, while advanced QoS options ensure prioritized handling of voice and video traffic. Broad L2/L2+ feature support, IPv6 readiness and ISP-oriented functions like QinQ and sFlow extend the switch’s applicability in business and service-provider environments.

How to use

Install the switch in a rack or on a flat surface and connect uplink ports to the core network or gateway. Connect PoE-enabled devices using standard Ethernet cables; the switch will provide both data and power to compatible endpoints within the 384 W budget. Configure basic network settings and VLANs via the web GUI or CLI, or adopt the switch into the Omada SDN controller for centralized cloud management and monitoring. Use ACLs, 802.1X and DHCP snooping to restrict access and enable QoS policies to prioritize voice and video traffic as needed.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, ensure total connected PoE device consumption does not exceed the 384 W budget. Use the Omada SDN controller for large or multi-site deployments to simplify management and monitoring. Apply security features such as IP-MAC-Port-VID binding, 802.1X authentication and DHCP snooping to protect network resources.
