TP-Link SG6428X Omada 24-Port Gigabit Stackable L3 Managed Switch with 4× 10G Slots

TP-Link SG6428X is a high-performance Omada 24-port Gigabit Stackable L3 Managed Switch for offices, campuses, ISPs, and larger business networks. It provides 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports for computers, servers, printers, NVRs, and other wired devices, plus four 10G SFP+ slots for high-speed fibre uplinks, stacking, or server connections.

The switch delivers a 128 Gbps switching capacity per unit, 95.2 Mpps forwarding rate, 32K MAC address table, and support for 9 KB jumbo frames. It is built for 19-inch rack installation and includes two internal fixed power supplies, four internal fixed fans, and front-to-back airflow.

Key Features and Benefits

24 Gigabit Ports and 10G Uplinks

The SG6428X provides 24 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports for high-density Gigabit access. Its four 10G SFP+ slots can be used for fibre uplinks, server connections, or stacking, helping reduce bottlenecks between access and core layers.

Layer 3 Routing

The switch supports static routing, RIP, OSPFv2/OSPFv3, ECMP, VRRP, DHCP server and relay, and multicast routing with PIM-DM and PIM-SM. This allows it to route traffic between VLANs and subnets while reducing the load on a separate router.

Stacking and Network Redundancy

You can physically stack up to eight SG6428X units in standalone mode, or up to four units in controller mode. It supports VRRP and ERPS for high availability, while its two internal fixed power supplies help maintain uptime in business-critical networks.

Enterprise Security and QoS

Security features include ACLs, IP-MAC binding, DHCP Snooping, ARP inspection, IP Source Guard, DoS defence, port security, 802.1X authentication, and RADIUS/TACACS+ support. QoS features include eight priority queues, 802.1p and DSCP priority, queue scheduling, rate limiting, and storm control.

Omada SDN and Standalone Management

The switch can be managed standalone through a web GUI, CLI via console, Telnet, or SSH, SNMP, and RMON. When adopted by an Omada Hardware, Software, or Cloud-Based Controller, it supports centralized monitoring, automatic device discovery, batch configuration, batch firmware upgrades, and unified configuration. Omada cloud access and app management require a compatible Omada Controller; Zero-Touch Provisioning requires an Omada Cloud-Based Controller.

Compatibility and Important Details

The SG6428X includes 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports and four 10G SFP+ slots. It does not provide PoE power, so PoE cameras, access points, and phones require a separate PoE switch or injector. The SFP+ slots support fibre modules, direct-attach cables, and compatible RJ45 SFP+ modules; TP-Link specifies that no more than two 10G RJ45 SFP+ modules are supported, with one column interval recommended between them.
