Connect workstations, printers, wireless access points, cameras, servers, and other wired endpoints through 16 Gigabit RJ45 ports. Two Gigabit SFP slots provide fiber uplink options for connecting distribution switches or remote network segments. The TP-Link Omada SG2218 has a 36 Gbps switching capacity and 26.8 Mpps forwarding rate to support concurrent traffic across its copper and fiber interfaces. Management functions include link aggregation, IGMP snooping, IPv4 and IPv6 support, and traffic queuing with strict-priority and weighted-round-robin methods. Layer 2 and Layer 3 services support segmented business networks, while 9,000-byte jumbo-frame support can accommodate larger Ethernet frames where the attached infrastructure is configured for them. The 8K MAC address table provides endpoint address capacity for the switch's forwarding operations. DHCP snooping, DoS attack prevention, RADIUS authentication, storm control, and access control list support help administrators apply traffic and access policies at the switch. Its internal 100 to 240 VAC power supply and passive cooling avoid an external power brick and fan noise. The 1U chassis mounts in a standard equipment rack and operates at up to 45°C, making it suited to wired access layers in offices, retail sites, and branch closets.
