Cisco SG350-28P 28-Port Gigabit POE Managed Switch Description
Well-suited for a variety of small to medium business environments, including office environments, hotels and waiting rooms, retail spaces, and educational institutions, the Cisco SG350-28P 28-port Gigabit POE Managed Switch manages large volumes of simultaneous connections from various devices. It is a powerful and versatile 28-port Gigabit Power over Ethernet (PoE) Managed Switch that offers managed capabilities (Layer 2+ / Basic Layer 3), including VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) and QoS (Quality of Service). These features segment your network for improved security and performance, prioritising critical network traffic (such as voice and video) to ensure smooth operation. Designed with energy efficiency in mind, this switch supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which dynamically reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity without sacrificing performance.
The Cisco SG350-28P 28-port Gigabit POE Managed Switch delivers high performance to meet the demands of growing business networks. With a non-blocking switching capacity of 56 Gbps, it ensures full wire-speed performance across all ports, allowing for seamless data transfer even under heavy traffic conditions. This switch supports a forwarding rate of up to 41.67 million packets per second (Mpps) for 64-byte packets, enabling low-latency performance ideal for time-sensitive applications like voice and video.
With support for static IPv4 routing, the Cisco SG350-28P 28-port Gigabit POE Managed Switch can perform basic Layer 3 traffic forwarding between VLANs or to external networks without the need for a dedicated router, improving performance and simplifying network architecture. The integrated Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows multiple physical ports to be combined into a single logical link, increasing bandwidth and providing redundancy in case of a link failure. Plus, this switch supports multiple versions of Spanning Tree Protocol, including STP, Rapid STP (RSTP), and Multiple STP (MSTP) to maintain a stable and loop-free topology. These protocols dynamically manage redundant paths and prevent broadcast storms. The SG350-28P compact 1U rack-mountable design makes it easy to integrate into standard network racks, providing a clean and organised installation in data centres or network closets.
28 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Featuring 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports that support PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus), the Cisco SG350-28P 28-port Gigabit POE Managed Switch powers connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras directly through the Ethernet cables. It also includes two dedicated Gigabit SFP slots intended for fibre uplinks to enable high-speed connections to core network infrastructure or other switches over longer distances. Plus, this switch provides two combo ports that offer the flexibility to use either a copper RJ45 connection or an SFP fibre module, depending on the network needs. While the combo ports have both a copper and a fibre interface, only one can be active at a time per port.
Robust Security
Designed to protect your network from unauthorised access, malicious activity, and internal threats, the Cisco SG350-28P 28-port Gigabit POE Managed Switch includes a robust set of security features. The Access Control Lists (ACLs) enable fine-grained control over traffic by allowing or denying packets based on source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocols. Its 802.1X port-based authentication ensures that only authorised devices can connect to the network, working in conjunction with RADIUS servers for identity verification. Additional protections like DHCP snooping and IP Source Guard prevent rogue DHCP servers and IP spoofing, while Dynamic ARP Inspection blocks ARP-based attacks. The Secure Core Technology (SCT) ensures that the SG350-28P switch continues to process and forward essential traffic even during a potential denial-of-service (DoS) attack, maintaining network stability and performance.
Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
The Cisco SG350-28P 28-port Gigabit POE Managed Switch supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). It integrates both the IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) and 802.3af (PoE) standards, providing power and data over a single Ethernet cable. With a total PoE power budget of 195 watts, this switch can deliver up to 30W per port on compatible devices, making it ideal for powering a variety of networked equipment without the need for separate power supplies. The POE+ integration simplifies installation, reduces infrastructure complexity, and lowers overall deployment costs.
Management, Deployment
Designed for easy deployment and streamlined management, the Cisco SG350-28P 28-port Gigabit POE Managed Switch has an intuitive web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that offers a simplified, visual approach to configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, allowing users to manage the switch without requiring deep technical knowledge. For more experienced users, this switch offers a full Command Line Interface (CLI) that enables detailed control and scripting capabilities. Cisco's FindIT Network Management utility enhances visibility across the network by automatically discovering and managing Cisco Small Business devices, providing centralised configuration and monitoring from a single dashboard. The Auto Smartports feature further simplifies setup by detecting the type of device connected to each port and applying optimised port settings automatically. To ensure system reliability and minimise downtime during maintenance, the SG350-28P includes dual firmware images, allowing administrators to test and roll out software upgrades without interrupting network operations.
