RUCKUS ICX7550-24P-E2-R3 Stackable Switch

1. Product Overview

The RUCKUS ICX7550-24P-E2-R3 is a mid-range enterprise-class stackable switch designed for high-performance access and aggregation layers. It features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support, delivering up to 30W per port and a total PoE budget of 1900W. With dual 40G QSFP+ uplink ports, advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, and support for perpetual PoE, this switch is ideal for modern Wi-Fi 6/7 deployments, IoT networks, and smart building infrastructure.

2. Key Features

• 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ ports (802.3at)
• 2 x 40G QSFP+ uplink/stacking ports
• Up to 1900W PoE budget with dual power supplies
• Perpetual PoE and Fast Boot PoE support
• Advanced Layer 3 routing (BGP, OSPF, VRRP)
• Stackable up to 12 units
• 3-year remote support included

3. Supported Technologies & Standards

• IEEE 802.3at PoE+, 802.3bt Ready
• IPv4/IPv6 Routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP)
• MACsec Encryption (128/256-bit)
• sFlow, SNMPv3, RADIUS/TACACS+
• OpenFlow 1.3 for SDN Support
• LLDP, QoS, VRF, VXLAN

4. How It Works

The RUCKUS ICX 7550 operates as a stackable switch, allowing multiple units to function as a single logical device. It uses hitless failover and in-service software upgrades (ISSU) to maintain uptime. PoE devices remain powered during reboots thanks to perpetual PoE technology. The switch supports advanced traffic management, ACLs, and dynamic routing protocols to optimize network performance.

5. Applications

• Enterprise Wi-Fi 6/7 Access Point connectivity
• IoT and smart building deployments
• VoIP and video surveillance systems
• Campus and branch network aggregation
• Data center edge connectivity
