Enterasys 71G21K2L2-48P Power over Ethernet Switch
Technical Specifications:
- Port Configuration: Features 48 Ethernet ports that support 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds. All of these ports are PoE – enabled, which means they can provide power to PoE – compliant devices. Additionally, it may have some uplink ports for connecting to other switches or network devices at higher speeds.
- PoE Power Budget: Has a defined PoE power budget, which indicates the total amount of power it can supply to all the connected PoE devices simultaneously. This ensures that there is enough power available to support multiple devices without overloading the switch.
- Switching Capacity: Similar to other high – performance switches, it has a high switching capacity to handle a large volume of traffic. It can forward packets at line – rate speeds, ensuring efficient data delivery between connected devices.

Functional Features:
- PoE Management: Comes with advanced PoE management features that allow network administrators to monitor and control the power supplied to each PoE port. They can set power limits, prioritize power allocation, and remotely power – cycle devices, which helps to optimize power usage and troubleshoot device issues.
- Energy – Efficient Ethernet (EEE): Supports EEE, which reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity. When there is no data being transmitted on a port, the switch can put the port into a low – power state, saving energy and reducing operational costs.
Application Scenarios:
- Wireless Networks: In wireless network deployments, the 71G21K2L2 – 48P can be used to power wireless access points. This simplifies the installation process as there is no need to run separate power cables to each access point. It also provides flexibility in placing access points in optimal locations for better wireless coverage.
- Surveillance Systems: For IP – based surveillance systems, the switch can power multiple IP cameras. This is especially useful in large – scale surveillance installations where running power cables to each camera can be costly and time – consuming. The switch can also provide the necessary bandwidth for high – definition video streaming from the cameras.
