Time-based PoE
|
PoE power can be on or off based on user-defined schedule to save energy
|
|
General
|
|
Jumbo frames
|
Frame sizes up to 9000 bytes. The default MTU is 2000
|
|
MAC table
|
32,000 addresses on the SG550XG and SX550X models
16,000 addresses on all other models
|
|
Discovery
|
|
Bonjour
|
The switch advertises itself using the Bonjour protocol
|
|
LLDP (802.1ab) with LLDP-MED extensions
|
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) allows the switch to advertise its identification, configuration, and capabilities to neighboring devices that store the data in a MIB. LLDP-MED is an enhancement to LLDP that adds the extensions needed for IP phones
|
|
Cisco Discovery Protocol
|
The switch advertises itself using the Cisco Discovery Protocol. It also learns the connected device and its characteristics using Cisco Discovery Protocol
|
|
Product specifications

|
Power over Ethernet
|
The following switches support 802.3at PoE+, 802.3af PoE, and Cisco prestandard (legacy) PoE on any of the RJ45 network ports. 60W PoE is also supported on selected RJ-45 network ports
Maximum power of 60W is delivered to any of the 60W PoE ports, and maximum power of 30W is delivered to any of the other RJ45 network ports, until the PoE budget for the switch is reached
The total power available for PoE per switch is as follows
