What is the PoE capacity of this switch?

The switch supports a 1320W total PoE budget via included dual 1500W PoE+ power supplies (J9306A), enabling IEEE 802.3at PoE+ up to 30W per port across 44 ports for powering APs, phones, and cameras without external injectors.

What is the switching capacity and backplane?

It provides 379.2 Gbps switching capacity in a 6-slot chassis, supporting high-speed non-blocking performance for enterprise aggregation with low latency suitable for 10GbE uplinks and Layer 3 routing.

Does it support Layer 3 features?

Yes, Premium Software includes advanced Layer 3 capabilities like IPv6, IPv4 BGP, policy-based routing, and more in a license-free package, making it ideal for inter-VLAN routing without additional costs.

What is the form factor and expandability?

Rack-mountable 6-slot chassis occupies approximately 14U with dual hot-swappable power supplies for redundancy. It has 6 open module slots initially (2 used), allowing additions like 8-port 10GbE SFP+ modules for scalability.

Is this switch suitable for campus deployments?

Yes, with 44x PoE+ ports, 1320W budget, 2x 10GB SFP+ uplinks, and 379.2 Gbps capacity, it's optimized for campus access aggregation powering Wi-Fi and VoIP while providing Layer 3 routing to core networks.
