L2+/L3 Lite 2.5G Ultra PoE++ Switch
ECS501P
The Edgecore ECS501P switch is a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet access switch with two 10G uplink ports. The switch is an ideal 2.5 Gigabit PoE
access switch for SMB, enterprise, and campus networks. The ECS501P switch is packed with features that bring high availability,
comprehensive security, robust multicast control, and advance QoS to the network edge, while maintaining simple management. The
switch also supports the most advance IPv6 management, IPv6 security, and IPv6 multicast control in accordance with the growth of IPv6
deployment.
ECS501P L2+/L3 Lite Switch
PoE++ Support for Wi-Fi 6 APs
The ECS501P can provide up to 60 W of power to attached
devices with a total power budget of 240 W.
The switch can deliver up to 30 W on 8 ports, or 60 W on 4 ports.
PoE eliminates the need for individual power sources for devices
in the network, saving on costs for power cables and avoiding
power outlet availability issues. If the power demand exceeds the
switch’s maximum power budget, ports can be prioritized to
receive power.
Multi-Gig Performance and Scalability
The Edgecore ECS501P is a high-performance 2.5 Gigabit
Ethernet Layer 2+ managed switch with 80 Gbps switching
capacity. The switch delivers wire-speed switching performance
on all 2.5 Gigabit ports, taking full advantage of existing
high-performance 2.5 Gigabit 11ax Wi-Fi APs etc, significantly
improving the responsiveness of applications and file transfer
times.
The two 10G SFP+ ports provide uplink flexibility, allowing the
insertion of fiber or copper gigabit transceivers, to create up to 20
Gbps high-speed uplinks to service provider, corporate, or
campus networks, reducing bottlenecks and increasing the
performance of the access network.
Continuous Availability
The IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol provides a
loop-free network and redundant links to the core network with
rapid convergence, to ensure faster recovery from failed links,
enhancing overall network stability and reliability.
The IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol runs STP per
VLAN base, providing Layer 2 load sharing on redundant links up
to 64 instances.
The ECS501P supports IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP). It increases bandwidth by automatically
aggregating several physical links together as a logical trunk and
offers load balancing and fault tolerance for uplink connections.
The ECS501P supports G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection
Switching with the ability for the network to detect and recover
from incidents without impacting users, meeting the most
demanding quality and availability requirements. Rapid recovery
time when problems do occur is as low as 50ms
Enhanced Security
Port security limits the total number of devices from using a
switch port and protects against MAC flooding attacks.
IEEE 802.1X port-based or MAC-based access control ensures all
users are authorized before being granted access to the network.
When a user is authenticated, the VLAN, QoS and security policy
are automatically applied the port where the user is connected,
otherwise the port is grouped in a guest VLAN with limited
access.
DHCP snooping allows a switch to protect a network from rogue
DHCP servers that offer invalid IP addresses.
IP Source Guard prevents users from using IP addresses that
were not assigned to them.
Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be used to restrict access to
sensitive network resources by denying packets based on source
and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, or TCP/UDP ports.
ACLs are hardware supported, so switching performance is not
compromised.
