Managed Industrial PoE Switching with Gigabit Connectivity
The SF71860MP provides 16 10/100/1000Mbps PoE/PoE+ copper ports along with 2 × 100/1G SFP slots for fiber optic uplinks. A dedicated console port provides an additional management interface.
The RJ-45 ports support auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDI-X, while the switch supports both back-pressure flow control for half-duplex operation and IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex operation.
The SFP slots allow the switch to be configured for different fiber types, connectors, and transmission distances by selecting the appropriate VERSITRON SFP module.
PoE and PoE+ for Network Devices
The SF71860MP supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at Power over Ethernet standards across ports 1–16. Each port can provide up to 30W, with a total PoE power budget of 400W.
PoE management features include:
- PoE working status
- Delay start
- PoE output priority configuration
- Total PoE power limit
- PoE operation and time scheduling
- PoE output power allocation
This makes the switch suitable for powering compatible network devices directly through Ethernet cabling while providing centralized management of PoE operation.
Layer 2+ Managed Network Features
The SF71860MP provides extensive Layer 2+ management capabilities for controlling and monitoring network traffic. Management interfaces include Web Management through HTTPS, CLI through console/AUX modem/Telnet/SSH 2.0, SNMP V1/V2C/V3, FTP, TFTP, Xmodem, and SFTP. Additional tools include NTP, system work logs, ping testing, cable diagnosis, LLDP, and CPU utilization monitoring.
The switch also provides L2+ network management, IPv4/IPv6 management, Layer 3 software routing/forwarding, static routing, and DHCP client, snooping, server, and relay functionality.
VLAN and Network Traffic Management
The SF71860MP supports multiple VLAN configurations, including:
- Port-based VLAN
- IEEE 802.1Q tag-based VLAN
- MAC-based VLAN
- Protocol-based VLAN
- Voice VLAN
- Q-in-Q configuration
- Access, trunk, and hybrid port configurations
The switch supports up to 4,000 active VLANs with 802.1Q tag-based VLAN configuration.
For traffic prioritization, the switch provides Diff-Serv QoS, 802.1p/DSCP priority mapping, eight output queues per port, and configurable queue scheduling using SP, WRR, or SP+WRR.
Industrial Ethernet Ring Protection
The SF71860MP supports G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) for network redundancy. ERPS provides a recovery time of less than 20 ms, with support for up to 250 rings and 1,024 devices per ring.
This makes the SF71860MP well suited for network architectures where maintaining connectivity through a redundant ring topology is important.
Network Security Features
The SF71860MP includes a broad set of security and access-control features designed to help administrators control network access and traffic.
Security capabilities include:

- Anti-DoS attack protection
- IP-MAC-VLAN-Port binding
- MAC black holes
The switch also supports Layer 2 through Layer 4 packet filtering and ACL configurations based on MAC addresses, IP addresses, protocols, TCP/UDP ports, VLANs, and ports.
High-Capacity Gigabit Switching
The SF71860MP uses a store-and-forward, full-wire-speed switching architecture with:
- 256 Gbps switching capacity
- 26.78 Mpps throughput
- 8K MAC address table

- Jumbo frames up to 9.6K
These capabilities provide the switching capacity and traffic-handling features needed for managed industrial Ethernet networks with multiple connected devices.
Fiber Optic Uplink Flexibility
The two SFP slots support 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps SFP modules, allowing the SF71860MP to connect to multimode or singlemode fiber networks using LC connectors. The updated datasheet lists VERSITRON SFP options ranging from short-distance 100 Mbps multimode modules to 100 km Gigabit singlemode modules, along with BiDi and other options.
Available SFP options include 100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX, long-distance Gigabit singlemode, and complementary-wavelength single-fiber modules. CWDM and DWDM modules are also available.
Industrial Construction and Wide Temperature Operation
The SF71860MP is designed for industrial network environments and operates from -40°C to +85°C, with 5% to 90% relative humidity, non-condensing. The switch also includes specified anti-vibration, anti-shock, and free-fall protection.
Its protection specifications include ESD, EFT, surge, radio-frequency, magnetic-field, and lightning protection. The datasheet specifies 6 kV lightning protection and an IP30 case protection level.
Flexible Power and Installation Options
The SF71860MP includes a built-in 100–240VAC, 50–60Hz power supply along with a dual-input DC interface supporting 12–48VDC. The power system provides AC priority, anti-reverse protection, automatic switching to DC when AC power is lost, and a one-way alarm switch interface.
Installation options include:
