Managed switch PLANET XGS-6311-12X L3 12 SFP+ 240 Gbit/s 1U

PLANET XGS-6311-12X is a fully managed Layer 3 switch with twelve 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports that support dual-speed operation (10G/1G). Designed for high-bandwidth environments such as Wi‑Fi 6/6E access points, NAS and workstations, this 1U rack-mountable switch delivers a non-blocking architecture with up to 240 Gbit/s switching capacity and a MAC table suitable for enterprise deployments.

Advantages

The XGS-6311-12X combines hardware-based Layer 3 routing (static routing, RIP and OSPF), Layer 2 switching features and full IPv4/IPv6 management to simplify migration to next-generation networks. It offers redundant ring protection (G.8032 ERPS), fast recovery, extensive multicast support, comprehensive security (ACL, 802.1x, DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, DAI) and multiple management interfaces including Web, console, SSHv2 and SNMPv3.

Suitable for

• High-bandwidth aggregation for campus and enterprise networks
• Backhaul for Wi‑Fi 6/6E access point deployments
• 10G connections to NAS, servers and workstations
• Metro edge and telco/ISP access rings requiring fast recovery

How to use

Install the XGS-6311-12X in a standard 19" rack (1U) and populate the SFP+ ports with compatible 10G or 1G transceivers to match your fiber or DAC cabling. Use the Web GUI for initial configuration of VLANs, port speeds, port aggregation and basic security settings. Configure Layer 3 routing manually for static routes or enable RIP/OSPF for dynamic routing between segments. For production environments, enable DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and DAI, and set up RADIUS for 802.1x authentication.

Recommendations

For reliable 10G links, use certified SFP+ modules and enable SFP-DDM monitoring to track optical parameters. When deploying in ring topologies, configure G.8032 ERPS and MSTP to ensure sub-15 ms recovery where supported. Use SNMPv3 or SSHv2 for secure remote management and apply ACLs and per-port QoS/WRR to prioritise voice and video traffic.
