Switch Managed L3 PLANET MGS-6311-10T2X 8 porte 2.5GBASE-T 10G Ethernet

The PLANET MGS-6311-10T2X is a managed Layer 3 multigigabit Ethernet switch designed for environments that require high bandwidth and advanced network control. It provides eight 2.5GBASE-T RJ45 copper ports, two 10G-capable RJ45 copper ports (auto-negotiating 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100), and two 1G/10G SFP+ fiber ports to extend link distance. The switch supports Layer 3 static routing, RIP and OSPF routing, comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 traffic control, and enterprise-grade security and management features in a 1U rack-mountable form factor.

Advantages

The MGS-6311-10T2X combines multigigabit copper and dual-media 10G interfaces to deliver high throughput for Wi‑Fi 6 access points, NAS, workstations and servers without replacing existing Cat6A/Cat7 cabling. It offers redundant ring protection (G.8032 ERPS) and MSTP for fast recovery, strong multicast handling with IGMP/MLD snooping and MVR, and full IPv6 support with secure management options such as SSHv2 and SNMPv3. Advanced ACL, DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and DAI provide layered protection for edge deployments.

Suitable for

• High-density wireless deployments (802.11ac/ax AP backhaul)
• Small to medium enterprise networks requiring Layer 3 routing
• VoIP and video streaming services with QoS and WRR needs
• Data center edge or aggregation with 10G copper/fiber links
• Service provider or multi-tenant environments needing security and traffic control

• Management: Web GUI, CLI (console/Telnet), SNMPv3, SSHv2
• Form factor: 1U rack-mountable; weight ~1.95 kg

How to use

Install the MGS-6311-10T2X in a standard 19" rack using the included brackets and connect devices to the appropriate RJ45 or SFP+ ports. For multigigabit endpoints (Wi‑Fi 6 APs, NAS, workstations) use the 2.5GBASE-T ports; use the 10GBASE-T or SFP+ ports for aggregation uplinks to cores or servers. Configure Layer 3 static routes or enable RIP/OSPF for dynamic routing as required. Set VLANs, port aggregation and QoS/WRR policies through the web GUI or CLI to separate and prioritize traffic. Enable security features such as 802.1X, ACLs, DHCP Snooping and IP Source Guard to protect edge ports.

Recommendations

Use Cat6A or Cat7 cabling to achieve reliable 10GBASE‑T performance; choose SFP/SFP+ transceivers (1000BASE or 10GBASE variants) appropriate to the fiber distance when deploying the SFP+ ports. For minimal recovery times in ring topologies, enable G.8032 ERPS and verify MSTP settings. Apply ACLs and port authentication for publicly accessible or multi-tenant ports and monitor SFP status with the DDM feature for preventive maintenance.
