Layer 2+ Managed Ethernet Switches

VERSITRON offers Layer 2+ managed Ethernet switches that combine the network management capabilities of Layer 2 switching with selected Layer 3 functions. These switches provide advanced control over network traffic, segmentation, security, and connectivity while maintaining the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of a managed Ethernet switch.

Layer 2+ switches are well suited for business, enterprise, industrial, and infrastructure networks that require more functionality than a basic Layer 2 switch but do not necessarily require the full routing capabilities of a Layer 3 switch.

VERSITRON Layer 2+ managed switches are available with Gigabit Ethernet, fiber optic, and PoE/PoE+ connectivity, allowing network administrators to build flexible copper-to-fiber networks and extend Ethernet connections over multimode or singlemode fiber.

What Is a Layer 2+ Switch?

A Layer 2+ switch provides the core switching and management capabilities associated with Layer 2 networking while incorporating selected Layer 3 features.

Depending on the model, these capabilities can include:

• Static routing for communication between network segments
• DHCP server functionality
• Advanced VLAN management for network segmentation
• Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing critical traffic
• Access Control Lists (ACLs) for controlling network access
• Managed Ethernet and fiber connectivity
• PoE/PoE+ support on applicable models for powering connected devices

These features make Layer 2+ switches a practical choice for organizations that need greater control and network functionality without necessarily requiring a full Layer 3 routing platform.

Layer 2+ Managed Industrial Gigabit Switch

For networks operating in demanding environments, VERSITRON offers Layer 2+ managed industrial switching with copper and fiber connectivity.

Model	Description
SF72860M	28-Port Managed Industrial Switch with 24-RJ45 Ethernet Ports and 4-SFP Fiber Ports

The industrial platform provides the managed switching capabilities required for applications where network equipment may need to operate in more demanding environmental conditions.

Layer 2+ Managed All-Fiber Switches

Fiber-intensive network architectures can benefit from Layer 2+ switches with high-density SFP connectivity.

Model	Description
SGX288164M	28-Port Managed Switch with high-density SFP connectivity, including 100/1G SFP interfaces and 1G/10G SFP fiber ports

These configurations provide flexibility for networks where fiber optic connectivity is required across multiple network segments or remote locations.

Layer 2+ Managed PoE+ Switches

VERSITRON also offers Layer 2+ managed PoE+ switches that combine advanced network management with Power over Ethernet. These switches can simplify deployments by allowing compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP equipment to receive power and data through Ethernet cabling.

SG72060MP	20-Port Managed PoE+ Switch with 16-RJ45 Ethernet Ports and 4-SFP Fiber Ports
SGX72870MPA	28-Port Managed PoE+ Switch with 24-RJ45 Ethernet Ports and 4-SFP Fiber Ports
SGX75270MP	52-Port Managed PoE+ Switch with 48-RJ45 Ethernet Ports and 4-SFP Fiber Ports

Layer 2+ Switching for Copper and Fiber Networks

One of the advantages of VERSITRON's Layer 2+ managed switch portfolio is the ability to combine copper Ethernet and fiber optic connectivity within the same network infrastructure.

Fiber optic ports can be used to extend network connections beyond the distance limitations of copper Ethernet while providing a practical way to connect remote network locations, backbone links, and distributed equipment.

Depending on the model, VERSITRON Layer 2+ switches are available with combinations of RJ45 Ethernet ports, SFP fiber ports, and higher-speed fiber interfaces.
