Hallittava kytkin Extralink Chiron 24x RJ45 1000Mb/s 4x SFP+ L3

The Extralink Chiron 24x RJ45 1000Mb/s 4x SFP+ L3 is a managed Layer 3 gigabit switch designed for demanding network environments. It provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ‑45 ports and four SFP+ ports for 10Gb uplinks or fiber connections, with a switching capacity of 128 Gbit/s and a MAC address table supporting up to 16,000 entries. The switch implements carrier-grade features such as VLAN flexibility, Ethernet OAM, advanced ACLs and Layer 3 routing protocols to support metropolitan area networks, corporate and government infrastructures, and other multi‑service deployments.

Advantages

The unit combines high-capacity switching and 10G uplink support in a compact rackable form factor, enabling aggregation of access-layer devices and high-throughput uplinks. Built-in Layer 3 routing capabilities reduce dependency on external routers for inter-VLAN routing while platform-level QoS, LACP and STP/RSTP/MSTP support help maintain predictable performance and redundancy. Hardware-based protection and packet scheduling reduce the impact of denial-of-service and broadcast storms, while Ethernet OAM and ISSU improve manageability and minimize service interruption during maintenance.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the Extralink Chiron in a standard 19" rack or on a flat surface according to your site requirements, and connect power and grounding following your local electrical and safety guidelines. Use the RJ‑45 ports for copper access links and the SFP+ ports for fiber uplinks or high-speed aggregation. Access the management interface via console, SSH or web GUI to configure VLANs, Layer 3 interfaces, routing protocols, QoS policies and security rules. Create link aggregation groups where needed to increase throughput and redundancy, and enable Ethernet OAM and protection protocols to monitor and maintain network health.

Recommendations

For stable operation in larger deployments, separate control, management and data VLANs, enable LACP for aggregated uplinks, and configure STP/MSTP to prevent loops. Use Ethernet OAM and monitoring tools for proactive fault detection, and schedule in-service software upgrades (ISSU) during low-traffic windows to minimize impact. Ensure SFP+ transceivers or DAC cables are compatible with the switch and rated for the intended link distances.
