Unlock Seamless Connectivity with Omada Access Switches
In today's fast-paced digital world, a reliable, secure, and easily manageable network is crucial for businesses of all sizes. Omada Access Switches offer a cost-effective and powerful solution for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), providing the foundation for highly scalable and efficient networks.
Why Choose Omada Access Switches? Benefits for Your Business
Omada Access Switches are designed to meet diverse networking needs, offering a range of benefits that make them an ideal choice for customers:
• Centralized Cloud Management: The Omada Software Defined Networking (SDN) platform integrates network devices like access points, switches, wireless bridges and gateways, enabling 100% centralized cloud management from a single, intuitive interface. This simplifies network administration across multiple sites, saving time and resources.
• Cost-Effective Performance: These switches provide professional and reliable one-step networking solutions without sacrificing enhanced usability and strong performance, offering significant value for SMBs.
• Versatile Deployment: With rackmount and compact designs, Omada Access Switches are suitable for various indoor and outdoor deployments. Many models feature fanless designs, making them ideal for noise-sensitive environments such as classrooms, homelab, hotels, and hospitals.
• Seamless Integration: The Omada ecosystem ensures seamless wireless and wired connections, providing unified and efficient network experience.
• Enhanced Security & Reliability: Omada switches come with abundant security functions, a powerful firewall, and advanced L2/L2+ features that protect your network and data. Features like Dual Image and Dual Configuration also provide improved reliability and network uptime during upgrades.
Extensive Port Configurations for Every Need: Omada Access Switches offer a wide array of port options to precisely match diverse network requirements. Customers can choose switches with varying numbers of total ports, ranging from compact 5-port models like the SG2005P-PD and 6-port switches such as the SG2206MP to large 52-port switches like the SG3452P, SG3452, and SG2452LP. These models provide flexible combinations of Gigabit RJ45 ports (both PoE+ and non-PoE) and Gigabit or 10GE SFP/SFP+ slots for high-speed uplinks or fiber connections.
Key Features of Omada Access Switches
Omada Access Switches are packed with advanced functionalities to support robust and efficient network operations:
• Omada SDN for Unified Management:
- Automatic Device Discovery and Batch Configuration simplify setup and management.
- Effortless Network Monitoring provides real-time status reports, traffic distribution insights, and abnormal event warnings through an easy-to-use dashboard.
- Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) simplifies multi-site deployments with the Omada Cloud-Based Controller.
- Multi-user privilege assignment increases management efficiency and security.
• Advanced L2 and L2+ Networking:
- DHCP Server functionality allows the switch to assign IP addresses to network devices, simplifying network configuration. The switches also support DHCP Relay, including DHCP Interface Relay, DHCP VLAN Relay, and DHCP L2 Relay, to forward DHCP requests between different network segments.
- Static Routing helps route internal traffic efficiently, segmenting the network for better resource utilization.
- VLAN support (802.1Q, MAC, Protocol, Voice VLAN) allows network segmentation and optimized voice applications.
- Quality of Service (QoS) features (L2/L3/L4) optimize voice and video traffic with priority scheduling (SP, WRR) and bandwidth control, ensuring smooth and clear communication.
- IGMP Snooping and MLD Snooping intelligently forward multicast streams to appropriate subscribers, preventing unauthorized access.
- Other L2 features include Link Aggregation (LAG), Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/RSTP/MSTP), Port Mirroring, and Flow Control.
• Robust Security Measures:
- Access Control Lists (ACL) restrict access to sensitive network resources based on MAC, IP, TCP/UDP ports, and VLAN ID.
- IP-MAC-Port Binding, Port Security, DoS Defend, Storm Control, and DHCP Snooping protect against various network attacks.
- 802.1X authentication with RADIUS/TACACS+ ensures authenticated access to the network.
- Support for IPv6 management, ACL, QoS, and MLD Snooping ensures a smooth migration to next-generation networks.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) Support:
- Many models offer PoE+ (802.3af/at) ports with individual port outputs up to 30W, and total PoE budgets up to 384W (e.g., SG3452P, SG3428MP) to power devices like IP cameras and access points.
- Features like Perpetual PoE and Fast PoE ensure uninterrupted power delivery and quick network recovery.
• Flexible Management Interfaces:
- Except the Omada App (with Omada Controller), you can also manage switches via an intuitive web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), industry-standard Command Line Interface (CLI), SNMP (v1/v2c/v3), and RMON.
Ideal Use Cases for Omada Access Switches
Omada Access Switches are highly adaptable and excel in a variety of environments, making them perfect for:
