TP-SG6428X specification sheet

Overview:

The TP-Link SG6428X Omada 24-Port Gigabit Stackable L3 Managed Switch is designed for businesses, enterprise networks and service providers that need high-speed connectivity, Layer 3 routing, physical stacking and dependable network availability. With 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports and four 10G SFP+ slots, it provides flexible connectivity for servers, workstations, access points, uplinks and other network equipment.

Description:

The TP-Link SG6428X combines high-performance switching with advanced Layer 3 networking, security and centralized Omada management. Its physical stacking capability allows multiple switches to operate as a unified network system, while redundant internal power supplies and advanced availability technologies help reduce the impact of hardware or network failures. The four 10G SFP+ slots also provide fast uplink options for demanding network environments.

Features:

High-Speed Gigabit and 10G Connectivity
With 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 10 Gbps SFP+ slots, the SG6428X provides a practical combination of access and high-speed uplink connectivity. The switch delivers up to 128 Gbps of switching capacity per unit, making it suitable for environments with significant internal network traffic.

Physical stacking supports up to four units, increasing the combined switching capacity to as much as 512 Gbps while providing greater redundancy and network scalability.

Key connectivity points include:

• 24x Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports
• 4x 10 Gbps SFP+ slots
• Up to 128 Gbps switching capacity per switch
• Up to four units supported in a physical stack
• Up to 512 Gbps switching capacity across a four-unit stack
• Rackmountable design for server rooms and network cabinets

Layer 3 Routing for Scalable Networks
The SG6428X is built for networks that require more than basic Layer 2 switching. Its Layer 3 capabilities support a range of routing protocols and functions, allowing network administrators to build scalable and efficient network architectures.

Supported routing and network functions include:

• Static Routing
• RIP
• OSPF
• ECMP
• VRRP
• DHCP Server
• DHCP Relay
• PIM-DM multicast routing

PIM-DM helps manage multicast traffic efficiently, while VRRP can provide gateway redundancy for improved network availability.

Reliable Network Availability
For business-critical environments, the SG6428X includes several technologies designed to improve network resilience. Two internal fixed power supply modules provide power redundancy, while VRRP supports gateway redundancy. ERPS provides rapid protection and recovery for supported ring network topologies.

This combination makes the switch well suited to networks where connectivity needs to remain available during equipment or link failures.

Advanced Network Security
Network security controls help administrators manage access and protect the network against common threats. The SG6428X supports security mechanisms for both IPv4 and IPv6 environments, giving network administrators greater control over connected devices and traffic.

Security capabilities include:

• IPv4 and IPv6 ACL support
• Dynamic ARP Inspection
• IEEE 802.1X authentication
• MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB)
• Port Security
• DoS Defend
• Secure Shell (SSH)

These controls can be used to restrict unauthorized access, authenticate network devices and reduce the risk of malicious or unwanted traffic.

Centralized Omada SDN Management
The SG6428X integrates with the TP-Link Omada Software Defined Networking platform, allowing compatible network devices such as switches, routers and access points to be managed from a centralized interface. Cloud-based management can simplify administration across larger networks and supports Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for supported deployment scenarios.

Administrators can also manage the switch directly through its web-based graphical interface or through a Command Line Interface. SSL and SSH encryption help protect management traffic.

Flexible Network Management
For organizations that require traditional network management tools, the SG6428X supports SNMP v1, v2c and v3 as well as RMON. These options allow network administrators to monitor switch status, collect network information and receive notifications when abnormal events occur.

Management options include:

• Omada centralized cloud management
• Web-based GUI
• Command Line Interface (CLI)
• SNMP v1/v2c/v3
• RMON
• SSL and SSH encrypted management
• Zero-Touch Provisioning support

Designed for Business and Enterprise Networks
The TP-Link SG6428X is a strong choice for SMBs, enterprises, ISPs and other organizations that need a scalable managed network switch with 10G uplinks and Layer 3 routing. Its combination of Gigabit access ports, 10G SFP+ connectivity, physical stacking, redundant power and advanced management makes it suitable for core and convergence network deployments.

The unit also includes four internal fixed fans and two internal fixed power supply modules, providing an integrated hardware design for rack-mounted network installations.
