RUCKUS ICX 7550-48P: High-Density Gigabit PoE+ Switch for Enterprise Access and Aggregation

1. Product Overview

The RUCKUS ICX 7550-48P is a high-performance, stackable, enterprise-grade switch designed for demanding network access and aggregation deployments. It offers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support, delivering up to 30W per port and a total PoE budget of 1900W. Ideal for powering Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, IP phones, and IoT devices, this switch also features flexible 40GbE uplinks, advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, and resilient stacking for scalable network growth.

2. Key Features

• 48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports with IEEE 802.3at PoE+
• Up to 30W per port, 1900W total PoE budget
• 2 x 40G QSFP+ uplink/stacking ports
• Perpetual PoE and Fast Boot PoE for uninterrupted power
• Stackable with up to 12 units (576 ports per stack)
• Advanced Layer 3 routing (BGP, OSPF, VRRP) with license
• MACsec encryption for enhanced security
• Unified management via SmartZone, RUCKUS Cloud, or Unleashed

3. Core Technologies

The ICX 7550-48P supports a wide range of enterprise networking standards and protocols, including:

• IEEE 802.3at PoE+, 802.1Q VLANs, 802.1X authentication
• IPv4/IPv6 routing with RIP, OSPF, BGP
• MACsec (128/256-bit) for data encryption
• sFlow, SNMPv3, SSH, TACACS+, RADIUS
• OpenFlow 1.3 for SDN compatibility

4. How It Works

The RUCKUS ICX 7550-48P operates as a fully managed Layer 2/3 switch, providing PoE power to connected devices while facilitating high-speed data forwarding. It uses stacking technology to combine multiple physical switches into a single logical unit, simplifying management and enabling hitless failover. Advanced QoS, ACLs, and traffic policing ensure optimal performance for voice, video, and data traffic.
