Layer 3 switch with 24 Ethernet ports and 4 fiber optic ports

Fiber optic adapter knowledge brief Published 22 Aug 2020

Prepared for preliminary research by the DANI ALONSO OPTICAL knowledge desk. Confirm connector interfaces, sleeve materials, polish, loss budgets and installation requirements against current standards and product documentation.

Several Layer 3 switches offer 24 Ethernet ports and 4 fiber optic ports, providing high-performance routing, flexible connectivity, and advanced management features for enterprise and data center networks.Recommended Models

1. MikroTik CRS328-24P-4S+RM

  • Ports: 24 Gigabit Ethernet with PoE output, 4 SFP+ 10Gbps fiber ports
  • Power: 500W built-in power supply, supports PoE-Out up to 30W per port
  • Software: Dual boot with RouterOS (full Layer 3 routing) or SwOS (simplified switching)
  • Form Factor: 1U rackmount, 28 independent ports
  • Use Case: Ideal for SMBs or enterprises needing PoE and flexible Layer 3 routing options 2. NETGEAR M4300-24X (XSM4324CS)
  • Ports: 24 copper ports supporting 100M/1G/10G, 4 SFP+ ports for 1G/10G fiber
  • Throughput: 480 Gbps switching capacity
  • Layer 3 Features: Supports static routing, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, PIM, and PBR
  • Form Factor: Rack-mountable, suitable for data centers and AV installations
  • Use Case: High-performance enterprise networks requiring advanced L3 management and fiber uplinks 3. D-Link DXS-3400 Series
  • Ports: 24-port Layer 3 stackable switch with fiber support
  • Features: Hot-swappable fans and power supplies, switch stacking, Data Center Bridging (DCB) support
  • Software: Standard Image for SMB/SME, Enhanced Image for advanced L3 routing
  • Use Case: Data center environments needing high availability and flexible software licensing 4. QSFPTEK S7600-24X2Q
  • Ports: 24x 10G SFP+ ports, 2x 40G QSFP+ uplinks (split into 4x 10G each)
  • Layer 3+ Features: Static routing, RIP, OSPF, BGP, MLAG, VXLAN, NVGRE, GENEVE
  • Redundancy: Dual hot-swap AC power supplies, smart fan redundancy
  • Use Case: High-performance aggregation layer, cloud networking, HCI, and data center applications 5. PLANET MGSW-28240F
  • Ports: 24x 1Gbps/2.5Gbps Ethernet, 4x 10Gbps SFP+ fiber ports
  • Layer 3 Routing: Supports IPv4/IPv6 VLAN static routing, OSPFv2
  • Features: Non-blocking switch fabric, wire-speed throughput up to 158 Gbps, front-access design for easy maintenance
  • Use Case: Enterprise LAN upgrades requiring flexible fiber and Ethernet connectivity
Key Considerations
  • Throughput & Performance: Choose based on network traffic; QSFPTEK and NETGEAR models offer higher switching capacity for data centers.
  • PoE Support: MikroTik CRS328-24P-4S+RM provides PoE for powering devices like IP cameras or access points.
  • Layer 3 Features: Ensure the switch supports required routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, VRRP) for your network topology.
  • Redundancy & Reliability: Hot-swappable power supplies and fans improve uptime in critical environments.
  • Management: Options include CLI, web interface, SNMP, and stacking capabilities for simplified administration. These switches provide a balance of 24 Ethernet ports for local connectivity and 4 fiber optic ports for uplinks or long-distance connections, making them suitable for enterprise, SMB, and data center deployments.
