Extreme Networks 16563

The Extreme Networks 16563 (ExtremeSwitching 220-24p-10GE2) is a robust, fully managed PoE+ switch, offering 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with an integrated 185 W PoE+ power budget, perfect for powering edge devices like IP phones, cameras, and wireless APs. It also features two 10 Gb SFP+ uplink slots, enabling high-speed aggregation. Designed for business-class deployment, the switch offers Layer 2 switching with static RIP routing, optional redundant power via an external RPS, and is stackable with up to Extreme Networks four units under a single IP management scheme. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty and a choice of cloud (ExtremeCloud) or on-premises management, the 16563 is an economical yet powerful solution for enterprise and branch network deployments.

Features

Part of the cost-effective ExtremeSwitching 220 Series, the 220-24p-10GE2 Extreme Networks blends performance and manageability for medium-sized networks. Its 24 PoE+ ports provide unified power and data, simplifying deployment and reducing cabling complexity. The 185 W internal PoE budget supports diverse powered devices with ease. High-speed uplinks are facilitated by two unpopulated 10 Gb SFP+ ports, allowing flexible connection to core networks or storage. The internal fixed AC PSU offers convenience, while support for an optional 500 W RPS unit ensures redundancy in critical environments. Management is versatile—choose from ExtremeCloud for cloud-based oversight, ExtremeManagement, a web GUI, or advanced CLI with scripting for seamless control across environments.  The switch delivers full non-blocking performance (88 Gbps capacity, 65.5 Mpps), and supports stacking up to 4 switches with unified configuration and simplified failover. It’s also, Layer 3-capable with static and RIP routing, ideal for flexible network segmentation and dynamic setups. 

Advanced Options

The 16563 switch is engineered for reliability and consistent Extreme Networks performance in enterprise and branch environments. With non-blocking architecture, delivering 88 Gbps throughput at 65.5 Mpps, it handles simultaneous PoE power loads and data traffic without latency hiccups. Its support for redundant power via an external RPS adds resilience, critical for uptime-sensitive applications. Stacking up to four units offers scalability and simplifies maintenance by allowing a single IP for managing the entire stack.
