How many ports does the X1018P have?

16 x 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports plus 2 x 1GbE SFP fiber uplinks and 1 USB management port. All Ethernet ports are auto-sensing and support PoE, enabling flexible copper and fiber connectivity.

What is the switching capacity?

36 Gbps switching capacity with a forwarding rate of 26.8 Mpps. This non-blocking architecture handles high traffic loads in L2+ environments, supporting features like QoS and spanning tree for reliable performance.

Is the switch managed, and how?

Yes, it's a smart managed L2+ switch with intuitive web-based GUI, SNMPv3 (RFC 3414), and protocols like IEEE 802.1D. Features include port mirroring, RMON stats, and local DHCP server for straightforward administration.

What is the form factor and mounting options?

Half-rack width compact design (1.7in x 17.7in x 19.1in) supports desk, wall, or ceiling mounting. Fanless operation (PoE variant) ensures silent use in office spaces, with optional tandem tray for two units in 1RU.

Does it support advanced L2+ features?

Yes, including up to 4,096 VLANs, link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad, 12 groups/8 ports), jumbo frames to 9KB, and QoS with 802.1p/DSCP. MAC table holds 16,000 entries for robust segmentation and prioritization.
