HPE 3600 EI Layer 3 Switch 24-port

SKU CH-XT86-5XRB6 MPN 3600

Delivers Layer 3 switching with 24 Fast Ethernet ports and Gigabit uplinks for enterprise edge networks

  • Electrical Outlet Plug TypeLayer 3 Switch
  • Layer 3 routing for enterprise edge networks
  • 24 Fast Ethernet ports connect wired devices
  • Four Gigabit SFP ports for uplinks and stacking
  • PoE and PoE+ options power endpoints directly
  • 24 or 48 port models scale with demand

Enterprise Edge Switch 24-port

The HPE 3600 EI Layer 3 Switch provides 24 Fast Ethernet ports and two Gigabit Ethernet uplinks for enterprise network edge deployment. It supports PoE and PoE+ for powering connected devices. Advanced security and traffic prioritisation features handle demanding converged applications. Stacking capability allows scalable growth with four active SFP-based Gigabit ports.

Suits PoE edge deployments

This switch fits networks that need Layer 3 routing at the edge with PoE support for phones or cameras. The 24-port 10/100 density matches medium branch requirements. Buyers who need high-density Gigabit to the desktop should look elsewhere. Environments requiring 48 ports or 100BASE-FX fibre uplinks need a different model in the series.

24 Fast Ethernet ports decide fit

The port count and speed are the primary constraints for this specific JG301A unit. Twenty-four 10/100 ports determine the number of directly connected endpoints. Two Gigabit uplinks set the aggregation bandwidth ceiling. Match these figures to your edge topology before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 24-port 3600 EI Layer 3 Switch generate when running continuously?

The 3600 EI Layer 3 Switch uses passive cooling with no internal fans, so it produces minimal audible noise and low heat during all-day operation.

What cabling and SFP modules must I already have to use the 24 Fast Ethernet ports and two Gigabit uplinks?

You need Cat5 or better copper cables for the 24 10/100 ports and two compatible SFP transceivers with fibre patch leads for the Gigabit uplink slots.

Can the JG301A stack with older 100BASE-FX switches over its Gigabit SFP slots?

Yes, the two Gigabit Ethernet SFP slots accept standard SFP transceivers, allowing uplink or stacking connections to legacy 100BASE-FX equipment.
