TP-Link Omada SG3218XP-M2 Multi-Gigabit Managed Switch

The TP-Link SG3218XP-M2 delivers enterprise-grade networking performance with 16x 2.5 Gbps ports and 2x 10G SFP+ uplinks, designed specifically for high-bandwidth WiFi 7, WiFi 6E, and WiFi 6 deployments. This L2+ managed switch provides 240W total PoE+ budget across 8 ports, eliminating the need for separate power infrastructure.

Multi-Gigabit Connectivity for Modern Networks

With 8x 2.5G PoE+ ports and 8x 2.5G non-PoE ports, this switch breaks through traditional gigabit limitations to fully support next-generation wireless access points. Each PoE+ port delivers up to 30W per port using 802.3at/af standards, while the 10G SFP+ slots provide non-blocking switching capacity of 120 Gbps and packet forwarding rate of 89.28 Mpps.

Omada SDN Integration

Centralized management through Omada's Software Defined Networking platform enables Zero-Touch Provisioning, cloud access, and intelligent monitoring. Control your entire network infrastructure—access points, switches, and gateways—from a single interface via web browser or Omada mobile app. Ideal for hospitality, education, retail, and enterprise deployments requiring scalable network management.

Advanced Layer 3 Features

The SG3218XP-M2 supports 32 IPv4/IPv6 interfaces with static routing capabilities for efficient internal traffic management. L2+ features include 802.1Q VLAN, Link Aggregation Control Protocol, STP/RSTP/MSTP, and port mirroring. IGMP Snooping intelligently forwards multicast streams only to appropriate subscribers, reducing unnecessary network traffic.

Enterprise Security

Comprehensive security features protect your network infrastructure: IP-MAC-Port-VID Binding, Port Security, Storm Control, DHCP Snooping, and integrated DoS attack prevention. Access Control Lists (L2-L4) restrict sensitive resource access based on MAC address, IP address, TCP/UDP ports, or VLAN ID. 802.1X authentication with RADIUS/Tacacs+ server support ensures only authorized users gain network access.

QoS and Performance Optimization

Eight priority queues with 802.1p CoS/DSCP priority ensure smooth voice and video services even during bandwidth constraints. Traffic prioritization based on IP address, MAC address, and TCP/UDP port numbers guarantees critical applications receive necessary resources.

Technical Specifications

The rackmountable switch (440 x 180 x 44 mm) features 16K MAC address table, 9KB jumbo frame support, and dual IPv4/IPv6 stack. Management options include web GUI, CLI via console/telnet, and SNMP v1/v2c/v3. Operating temperature range of 0–50°C with dual image and dual configuration support ensures reliable operation.
