With Layer 3 routing capabilities, robust security features, and support for advanced traffic prioritization, the 2910al-48G-PoE+ enhances network performance and control. Four dual-personality ports provide flexible fiber or copper uplink options, while two rear module slots support optional 10-Gigabit expansion, ensuring long-term investment protection and high-speed connectivity for future growth. Designed for reliable operation in demanding environments, the switch features side-to-side airflow for efficient cooling in rack-mounted deployments and supports optional redundant power supplies for increased resiliency.
This device is an excellent choice for:

• Enterprise Edge Switching: Perfect for deployment at the edge of enterprise networks, the 2910al-48G-PoE+ provides robust Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality, enabling efficient traffic segmentation, routing, and bandwidth control. Its PoE+ capabilities reduce infrastructure complexity by powering devices directly through the Ethernet cable, while advanced management and security features allow for seamless integration into larger network architectures.
• IP Telephony: With support for IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, this switch can power a full range of VoIP phones without additional adapters or injectors. The combination of PoE+ and intelligent traffic prioritization ensures consistent voice quality across your network, while QoS and VLAN capabilities help isolate and protect voice traffic from other network loads.
• Wireless Access Point Aggregation: An ideal choice for environments requiring dense Wi-Fi coverage, such as offices, campuses, or hospitality spaces. The switch’s PoE+ budget supports simultaneous power delivery to dozens of access points, while Gigabit speeds and fiber uplinks ensure that backhaul traffic is handled smoothly, even during peak demand.
• Surveillance Networks: Designed to support power-hungry IP cameras and network video recorders (NVRs), this switch simplifies installation by delivering both data and power over a single cable. With advanced security controls, including ACLs and port-level protection, you can confidently deploy surveillance systems in public or sensitive areas without compromising network integrity.
• Branch Office Connectivity: A highly capable solution for distributed sites, the 2910al delivers centralized manageability, static routing, and reliable PoE+ support for edge devices like printers, phones, and APs. Its compact form factor and modular uplink slots make it easy to adapt to changing branch requirements without needing a complete infrastructure overhaul.
• SMB Core or Aggregation Layer: Small to medium-sized businesses can use the 2910al as a core switch to aggregate access-layer switches. With 10-Gigabit uplink module support, the switch delivers enterprise-class speed and scalability at an accessible price point, making it ideal for organizations planning future growth without needing a full chassis-based solution.
• VoIP and Video Conferencing Environments: Ensures seamless real-time communication by prioritizing latency-sensitive traffic. Whether you're supporting a multi-user conferencing room or a distributed VoIP deployment, the switch’s ability to shape traffic and enforce QoS policies helps maintain call quality and video performance even under high network load.
• High-Availability Network Designs: With support for features such as VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol), link aggregation, and optional redundant power supply integration, this switch is well-suited for deployments where uptime is critical. It provides a solid foundation for building resilient network topologies that can continue functioning during hardware or link failures.
