Alcatel PP1N-OS6360-10

Small offices and branch locations often struggle with network congestion and limited bandwidth as they add more devices. The Alcatel PP1N-OS6360-10 solves this by providing eight Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10G SFP+ uplinks in a compact, fanless design. This managed switch delivers high-speed connectivity for demanding applications without the noise or complexity of larger enterprise equipment.

Who is it for

This switch is ideal for small to medium businesses, remote offices, and retail environments that need reliable, high-performance networking. It suits IT administrators who require advanced management features like VLANs, QoS, and security controls, yet prefer a silent, desktop-friendly unit that can also be rack-mounted when needed.

Main features

• 8 x 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed device connectivity.
• 2 x 1/10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports for flexible fiber or copper uplinks.
• Fanless operation ensures silent performance, perfect for noise-sensitive areas.
• Layer 2+ / Layer 3 Lite features including static routing and up to 4000 VLANs.
• Robust security with 802.1X, ACLs, DHCP snooping, and port security.
• Virtual Chassis stacking for up to 4 units, simplifying management.
• Web GUI (OmniVista), CLI, and SNMP support for flexible administration.

Specifications

• Switching capacity: 60 Gbps
• Forwarding rate: 44.6 Mpps
• MAC address table: 16K entries
• Jumbo frame support: up to 9216 bytes
• QoS: 8 queues per port
• Memory: 256 MB flash, 512 MB DRAM
• Power supply: Internal AC
• Mounting: Desktop or rack-mountable (kit optional)

Tips

To maximize performance, connect your high-bandwidth devices (servers, NAS) to the SFP+ uplinks using 10G transceivers. Use VLAN segmentation to isolate guest traffic from your core network, and enable DHCP snooping to prevent rogue DHCP servers. For a tidy setup, consider the optional rack-mount kit to integrate the switch into your existing rack infrastructure.
