Core Switch Layer 3 8-Port Fiber Optic Port

An 8-port Layer 3 fiber optic switch provides high-speed 10G connectivity with advanced routing, VLAN, and security features, ideal for core network deployment.Key Features

Port Configuration and Speed

• Typically equipped with 8 SFP+ ports, supporting 1G, 2.5G, and 10G speeds depending on the SFP module used .
• Compatible with SR, LR, LRM, ER, ZR, and SFP-to-RJ45 modules, allowing flexible fiber or copper connections .
• Each port can auto-negotiate speed or be manually configured via the management interface . Layer 3 Capabilities
• Supports IPv4 and IPv6 routing, static and dynamic routes, ARP, and loopback interfaces .
• Provides Layer 2 features such as VLANs, ACLs, QoS, jumbo frames, DHCP, multicast, and spanning tree protocols (MSTP/RSTP/STP), .
• Enables port mirroring, UDLD, and network diagnostics for fault localization and performance monitoring . Management and Security
• Managed via Web UI, CLI, Telnet, SSH, or SNMP, allowing flexible administration .
• Security features include AAA/802.1X authentication, MAC-based access control, DoS protection, dynamic ARP inspection, DHCP snooping, IP source guard, and port security .
• Power and port LED indicators provide real-time status monitoring . Performance and Deployment
• High switching capacity (e.g., 160Gbps) to prevent bottlenecks in core networks .
• Metal housing with fanless or smart fan design ensures silent operation and durability .
• Flexible deployment options: rack-mount or wall-mount, suitable for enterprise or home office environments . Additional Considerations
• SFP/SFP+ modules are sold separately, so ensure compatibility with your fiber type and distance requirements .
• Supports energy-efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) to reduce power consumption based on link status and cable length .

Use Cases

• Core network aggregation in data centers or enterprise networks.
• High-bandwidth server connections requiring 10G fiber links.
• Long-distance fiber transmission for campus or multi-building networks.
• Secure and manageable network backbone with advanced Layer 3 routing and monitoring. This type of switch is ideal for organizations needing high-speed, reliable, and secure fiber connectivity with full Layer 3 routing capabilities, while maintaining flexibility for future network expansion.
