PoE++ Support for Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 APs

The ECS5500-12P can provide up to 60 W of power to attached

devices with a total power budget of 480 W. The switch can

deliver up to 60 W on 8 ports with its unmatched PoE power

budget.

PoE eliminates the need for individual power sources for devices

in the network, saving on costs for power cables and avoiding

power outlet availability issues. If the power demand exceeds the

switch’s maximum power budget, ports can be prioritized to

receive power.

10G/Multi-Gig Performance and Scalability

The Edgecore ECS5500-12T/12P is a high performance 100M/

1G/2.5G/5G/10G Gigabit (Multi-Gig) Ethernet Layer 2+ managed

switch with 240 Gbps switching capacity. The switch delivers

wire-speed switching performance on all 10 Gigabit ports, taking

full advantage of existing high-performance 1G/2.5G/5G/10G

Gigabit 802.11ax/802.11be Wi-Fi APs etc, significantly improving

the responsiveness of applications and file transfer times.

The two 10G SFP+ ports and two 10G Ethernet ports provide

uplink flexibility, allowing the insertion of fiber or copper Ethernet

cable, to create up to 40 Gbps high-speed uplinks to service

provider, corporate, or campus networks, reducing bottlenecks

and increasing the performance of the access network.

Continuous Availability

The IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol provides a

loop-free network and redundant links to the core network with

rapid convergence, to ensure faster recovery from failed links,

enhancing overall network stability and reliability.

The IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol runs STP per

VLAN base, providing Layer 2 load sharing on redundant links up

to 64 instances.

The ECS5500-12T/12P supports IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation

Control Protocol (LACP). It increases bandwidth by automatically

aggregating several physical links together as a logical trunk and

offers load balancing and fault tolerance for uplink connections.

The ECS5500-12T/12P supports G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection

Switching with the ability for the network to detect and recover

from incidents without impacting users, meeting the most

demanding quality and availability requirements. Rapid recovery

time when problems do occur is as low as 50 ms.

Enhanced Security

Port security limits the total number of devices from using a

switch port and protects against MAC flooding attacks.

IEEE 802.1X port-based or MAC-based access control ensures all

users are authorized before being granted access to the network.

When a user is authenticated, the VLAN, QoS and security policy

are automatically applied the port where the user is connected,

otherwise the port is grouped in a guest VLAN with limited

access.

DHCP snooping allows a switch to protect a network from rogue

DHCP servers that offer invalid IP addresses.

IP Source Guard prevents users from using IP addresses that

were not assigned to them.

Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be used to restrict access to

sensitive network resources by denying packets based on source

and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, or TCP/UDP ports.

ACLs are hardware supported, so switching performance is not

compromised.
