10G multi-Gigabit PoE++ access switch for medium scenarios
The LANCOM XS-3526YUP is the ideal solution for aligning your LAN network to the requirements of Wi-Fi 7 access points. The 26-port access switch provides eight 10G multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports and Power over Ethernet according to IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) for efficient power supply to PoE-capable end devices without additional power cabling. The two SFP28 fiber-optic ports enable up to 25 Gbps uplink speeds so that you can continue to use your existing fiber optics infrastructure with higher bandwidths per port. Basic layer 3 functions such as static routing and DHCP server as well as security functions according to IEEE 802.1X, for example, round off the LANCOM XS-3526YUP. The optional interaction with the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC) can centralize and automate your network management and switch rollout according to your needs in order to reduce operating costs and thus increase your productivity.

High performance on 26 ports
The LANCOM XS-3526YUP is equipped with 16x 1 Gigabit PoE+ Ethernet ports, 8x 10G multi-Gigabit PoE++ Ethernet ports, and 2x SFP28 fiber-optic ports that support transfer rates of up to 25 Gbps. With the SFP28 ports, you can continue to use your existing fiber optics infrastructure while benefiting from higher bandwidths per port at the same time. This means that fewer hardware purchases are required in the long term, which reduces your investment costs (CapEx). With a data throughput of 292 Gbps on the backplane, the switch offers wirespeed performance even at high workloads. The multi-Gigabit access switch thus forms the powerful basis for modern network infrastructures in all industries and areas of application.

A high-performance basis for Wi-Fi 7
Thanks to eight high-performance 10G multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports, the PoE switch LANCOM XS-3526YUP is the ideal LAN-side basis for integrating Wi-Fi 7 into modern infrastructures. This is because Wi-Fi 7 access points or other network components with high transmission speeds and energy requirements mean increased performance requirements at the access level that exceed simple Gigabit Ethernet. To ensure the full performance and range of 10G, cables with higher specifications such as CAT6a or CAT7 are required.

Central power supply without additional electrical installation
As a high-performance PoE switch, the LANCOM XS-3526YUP supplies connected PoE end devices without additional power supplies or power cabling. It supports the Power over Ethernet standards IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) and IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++, Type 4) with up to 90 W per port. Thanks to high power reserves with a total output of 720 watts, it is thus ideal for efficient power supply of end devices with the highest energy requirements. In addition to Wi-Fi 7 access points, this also includes end devices such as lighting tubes, touch screens, or heated cameras, which can be operated via Power over Ethernet.

Cloud-managed LAN with port templates
With the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC) and Cloud-managed LAN, the LANCOM XS-3550YUP offers quick and easy network integration as well as automatic provision of the configuration across locations with the a click of a mouse. Time-consuming individual device and switch port configurations are now a matter of the past. The targeted switch rollout via the LMC enables automatic VLAN assignment to switch ports including practical switch port profiles and therefore “zero-touch” assignment to the devices.

Secure Terminal Access provides access to the command line of the LANCOM switch (“CLI tunneling”) directly from the LANCOM Management Cloud – encrypted and without leaving the cloud interface. Secure Terminal Access provides expert functions as well as extensive diagnostic and troubleshooting commands for the devices. Some highlights include: “trace” and “ping” commands for quick troubleshooting, access to low-level configuration parameters and detailed statistics of the LCOS SX operating system as well as secure remote access to third-party devices in the local network via the integrated SSH client.

Static routing for unburdened networks
The LANCOM XS-3550YUP supports the basic layer 3 feature static routing, shifting certain routing tasks from the router to the switch. The predefinition of network routes through one or more network segments enables faster data exchange, especially in the case of high internal data traffic, and leads to a relief of the router. Freed-up router capacity is then additionally available for handling external data traffic. This increases the efficiency of the entire network.

DHCP server functionality
As a DHCP server, the switch can independently and automatically assign IP addresses to clients. The LANCOM XS-3550YUP supports this basic layer 3 function and thus takes over the IP management of the connected network.

Configurable access control & secure remote management
The LANCOM XS-3550YUP stops rogue clients from gaining unauthorized access to the network. This is ensured by secured access control on all ports as per IEEE 802.1X (port-based, single, multi, and MAC-based) or by ACLs (access control lists). Thanks to secure communication protocols such as SSH, SSL, and SNMPv3, professional remote management of the network is possible. The switch also supports the TACACS+ protocol for authentication, authorization, and accounting. This optimized solution promises maximum security for multi-site network management and monitoring.

IPv6 and IPv4 support
Thanks to its dual-stack implementation, the LANCOM XS-3550YUP can be used in pure IPv4, pure IPv6, or mixed networks. Numerous applications such as SSL, SSH, Telnet, or TFTP can thus also be run over IPv6 networks. IPv6 features such as stateless autoconfiguration, neighbor device discovery, and MLD snooping round out the IPv6 features.

Maximum future-proofing and digital sovereignty
As an established German manufacturer of IT network solutions, LANCOM stands for reliability and know-how. Software and hardware development as well as production take place primarily in Germany, as does the hosting of the network management. Special attention is given to providing trusted solutions with outstanding security features. Another important security characteristic of the products is that they are free from backdoors, as awarded by the German Federal Ministry of Economy with the quality seal “IT Security made in Germany”. All devices are always equipped with with hardware that is dimensioned for the future. Even across product generations, updates to the LANCOM operating system family are available several times a year, free of charge. his guarantees a long service life while staying technically up to date, which represents a true protection of your investment. In addition, LANCOM infrastructures are easily scalable thanks to maximum compatibility.
